Summary/Abstract: German parliamentary elections were in the focus of media in Serbia in the long run, very important as the US presidential elections, which is a consequence of the importance of this process for Serbia. The analysis of the media contents of the election process is reflected in the review of media reports issued before, during and after the elections. Two central themes were the matters of Angela Merkelʼs fourth term and the rise of the far-right in Germany. The importance of German elections for Serbia and the future of Europe was evident, and the reports abounded with simplifications of complex issues, followed by a dose of sensationalism.
