A great surprise(he's a german ethnic in a very nationalist country, even the church tried to mingle in th election recommending to vote for a christian orthodox candidate), he lost the 1st tour by 10% and none of the polls predicted hs victory.It looks more that the other guy(the Prime Minister whose party is associated mostly with the comunists) lost. Sociologists and analysts stiill try to figure it out, looks lke Facebook and the social networks made the difference.
No I didn't see him at the festival, haven't seen politicians at jazz concerts.Usually they go to soccer matches and a minority to classical concerts/opera. Not much votes to gather at jazz concerts 

yep, I heard some short story in news, hope this surprise is for good  Not so familiar with politic situation in Eastern Balkans (differently from Western), but common situation in Europe,especially this part is too much as in 1939  so political news are hot again 

here politics, especially expecting support from middle class, liberals, students, intellectuals,artistic elite are regular on serious jazz concerts, some of them are real jazz fans though
