IMO, whenever things get tough, people first reach for the extreme - right or left, then only after that fails (and it can fail spectacularly), they look for smart-looking folks. Serbia has only been a bit quick to fail with extreme - in this case - the extreme populist. This is just my oversimplified opinion, the truth is far more complex - but Serbia has clearly had enough.
