Is the ruling party good? Or at least non-terrible in some way?

They're liberals, so not great. They're also highly opportunist and have been edging closer and closer toward betraying Serbia and piece by piece accepting the theft of Kosovo. But given that the West has just tried to instigate a color revolution to overthrow them they must at least be less terrible than the western backed alternative.

It seems that even when you go along with 90% of everything the West wants it's not enough, and the West cannot tolerate that this government has not completely turned against Russia yet. So a blueprint very similar to the one used in Ukraine on the Maidan was deployed, but the Serbs were warned beforehand (allegedly by the Russians) and were prepared. And unsurprisingly it came out fairly quickly that there were Nazi-collaborator sympathizers among the anti-government forces, and that the fingerprints of western intelligence services and western funded NGOs were all over the violence and other subversive activities.

TL;DR: this is not a good government but it could still be worse
