Positions

Wikipedia says commentators have called his stance populist and nationalist, while he has steered the Socialist Party toward EU integration since taking its leadership in 2006. As a spokesman for Slobodan Milošević in the 1990s he was nicknamed Little Sloba, and Wikipedia notes he never formally apologised for the party's conduct under Milošević.
