After Vučić’s Defeat, Serbia Waits to See How Student-Backed Leaders Will Govern

With Aleksandar Vučić’s Serbian Progressive Party defeated, attention has shifted to how the student-backed Students’ List will govern. The movement won 52.7% of the vote, according to preliminary figures, and is projected to hold a parliamentary majority. Its candidates include doctors, actors, academics and figures, while the movement has no clear leader or governing experience. Its platform promises anti-corruption measures, action against officials who broke rules, and less political control of broadcasting. The scale of victory raises expectations, but policy details and leadership remain unclear.
