The Spin

Narrative A

This is a dark day for Serbia. The nation must come together to support the families of those who lost their lives, as well as those injured. A full investigation is underway, and the government is prepared to hold those responsible for this tragedy to account.

Narrative B

This was no accident but rather the result of years of negligence and corruption. While Vučić may promise justice for the victims of Friday's tragedy, if history shows anything, the government has nothing to offer but empty promises.
