Serbia's Election Points to New Vulnerability for Nationalist Populists

Serbia's election is cited as an example of nationalists being pushed aside in eastern Europe, in places where they have governed for a long time. This runs against the widespread view of an unstoppable advance of the right in Europe.

Serbia's election, as reported by The New York Times, is being read as a sign that nationalist populists have become more vulnerable. Serbia is a southeastern European country where nationalists have held power for a long time.

In much of Europe, the advance of the political right has long been seen as unstoppable. In the east of the continent, however, nationalists are being cast aside in places where they have long governed. The Serbian result illustrates that trend.
