Serbia votes Sunday as student-led movement challenges Vučić
Serbians vote in snap parliamentary elections on Sunday after nearly two years of student-led protests over alleged corruption. Aleksandar Vučić resigned as president to run for prime minister, facing a party founded by student protesters in his biggest electoral test in 14 years. Allegations of irregularities and fears of a post-election crisis have been reported.
Why it matters
The vote could change leadership in an EU candidate country that balances ties with the West, Russia and China.
Background
Protests began after a deadly railway station canopy collapse in Novi Sad in 2024. Vučić has dominated Serbian politics for over a decade.
