Serbian Radical Party

Uh, on the other side, the, the ruling party for the first time is running alone without any other parties on their list.

They've only incorporated a few candidates from the Radical Party, so this is a, what you could call historical reconciliation with their, with their original kind of founding, uh, members.

The son of the, uh, founder, uh, Vojislav Šešelj, he's on the list, and a couple of other radicals.

The Socialists are running on, with a few coalition partners.

Um, now this proved to be a dangerous game, literally, uh, I mean, to the life and limb of the king.

The dominant party in Serbia had come to be the Radical Party.

Um, and it was exactly that.

It was a radical party.

Um, they, uh, it was a party of peasants.

Uh, if there's Serbs watching this or, and I, I, and I hope they'll contribute in the comments if they are, um, I, I don't wanna speak...

In an incomplete sense, this is kind of the beginning of the modern Chetnik movement, okay? Um, like when you think about the Radical Party, you think of them as like Chetniks as we know them, okay? I know that it's, I know that the roots of, of the Chetnik identity and movement go way, way, way deeper than that, and I, I don't speak Serbo-Croatian or anything like that.

But with the limited time we have, and just to make things kinda conceptually, you know, uh, clearer, um, think, think, think of the Radicals as like very, very game Chetniks, okay? Um, they uh- The, uh, this, this kinda, this, this, this kinda ongoing, uh, paralysis of government and this kinda like permanent divide between the executive and the parliamentary organs is something that dramatically kind of, uh, aggravated it.
