Lula Stuns Bolsonaro; Serbia Student List Defeats Vucic; Bulgaria Elections

Lula has snatched a razor thin victory over Flavio Bolsonaro in Brazil's presidential runoff, while Serbia's snap parliamentary elections handed the Student List a stunning win over Vucic's party after 14 years in power. In this episode we break down Bolsonaro's refusal to concede, what Lula's win means for BRICS, Ursula von der Leyen's double celebration, and whether Serbia's new rulers will turn on Russia and Kosovo as Bulgaria swings the opposite way. Is Brussels winning in Belgrade just as it starts losing Sofia?
