This shows how convenient it is to have an autocrat running your country. This and - when vaccines were needed during the pandemic - it helped to have one guy making all the decisions. But interestingly we don't know if what Vučić is proposing will work but also I wonder how much the recent wars do have an effect here? Yes it's about the gun availability but there is something I find in young men in this region having a sense of "missed glories" that adds to violent reactions. As well as frustration with their own lives.
