Article promoted to GA four days ago, obviously long enough, GA review correctly assessed as adequately sourced, I'm not amazed that the section on Serbia Against Violence is outright longer than the Progressive Party one, but that's not disqualifyingly non-neutral, just something to watch out for. Every sentence is cited to a different source, so no plagiarism, and QPQ done. All four hooks are in the article with citations at the end of the sentence. For ALT0, I'd definitely say mayor of Belgrade instead of Šapić, as people don't know who he is. I'm also not amazed by nova.rs as the source for the Rade Basta hook, they get a bit tabloid-like, and it doesn't say the Bunjevac stuff in its own voice, but rather quotes Alimpić. If you could just take a look at those two things, and then I can pass all four hooks, though I'm not sure if I need to (this is actually my first review!). Cheers!

- Nova is not a tabloid. Šapić was not a mayor at the time, therefore it would be incorrect to state that. Nevertheless, I've amended the blurb. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 13:54, 20 December 2025 (UTC)
  - Approving all four hooks. As for the Šapić thing, oops, but yeah, I prefer it like this, and as for nova.rs... I mean it kind of is a tabloid. Is the headline deo SNS šeme za krađu izbora u Beogradu really neutral? And I just looked at the front page and saw the headline Šok potez Viktorije i Dejvida pred praznike – otpratili sina sa Instagrama: Porodična drama se nastavlja. The only thing missing is the CAPS LOCK SHOUTING. But I'll let it slide under the premise that they're vastly more likely to get the truth right than the pro-government outlets anyway. Glad to see some Serbia content on the front page. Best of luck! JustARandomSquid (talk) 12:11, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
    - Thanks so much. And yeah, regarding Nova, I get it why you think that they're tabloid-like as their titles are a bit sensationalistic. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 12:16, 21 December 2025 (UTC)
