Serbia Election: Student Movement Challenges Vučić

Serbia’s parliamentary election has become a close test of Aleksandar Vučić’s decade-long dominance. The student-backed Students’ List emerged from mass anti-corruption protests sparked by the 2024 Novi Sad railway station collapse, which killed 16 people. The movement is challenging Vučić’s Serbian Progressive Party, presenting voters with a choice between continuity and change. Vučić, who stepped down as president to run for prime minister, has rejected accusations of corruption and political wrongdoing. With turnout drawing attention and the race tight, the result could reshape Serbia’s political future
