Aleksandar Vučić vs Alfredo Zayas

As Prime Minister, Vucic signed the Brussels Agreement with Kosovo, normalizing relations between Serbia and Kosovo. The agreement allowed for the integration of Serb-majority municipalities in Kosovo into the Kosovo legal system.

Vucic was appointed as the Prime Minister of Serbia, leading a coalition government of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS). He implemented austerity measures and economic reforms to address the fiscal deficit.

Vucic was elected as the President of Serbia, winning the first round with 55.1% of the vote. He succeeded Tomislav Nikolic and focused on EU integration, regional stability, and economic development.

Vucic was re-elected as President, winning the first round with 60.0% of the vote. His second term focused on maintaining a multi-vector foreign policy, balancing relations with the EU, Russia, and China.

Alfredo Zayas was elected president of Cuba as the Liberal Party candidate. His election followed a period of political turmoil and US intervention, and he promised to restore honest government.

Zayas launched an anti-corruption campaign, prosecuting officials from the previous Menocal administration. The campaign was popular but limited in scope, as Zayas himself faced accusations of corruption later in his term.

Zayas faced a severe financial crisis caused by falling sugar prices and government debt. He implemented austerity measures, including salary cuts for public employees, which were unpopular but stabilized the economy.

Zayas negotiated with the US to revise the Platt Amendment, which limited Cuban sovereignty. While the revision was minor, it was a step toward greater Cuban autonomy and reduced direct US intervention.
