Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic held yet another press conference on Kosovo. Like countless times before, it was announced as ‘the’ press conference, after which nothing would ever be the same.

The president’s frequent pronouncements have become almost comical; despite the dramatic buildup, nothing ever really happens.

With the exception of pro-Vucic tabloids and mainstream media, which eagerly lap up Vucic’s theatrical tirades, interest in what the president might have to say is in fact steadily declining.

Tedious and torturous for those involved, Vucic’s monologues are nevertheless fodder for fact-checkers.
