Student list defeats Vučić's party in Serbian election
Serbia's Student List won the parliamentary election with about 53% of the vote. Aleksandar Vučić conceded defeat. The movement grew from protests after the 2024 Novi Sad station canopy collapse. It is now preparing talks on forming a government.
Why it matters
The result ends 14 years of one-party dominance in a Balkan state seeking closer EU ties.
Background
Vučić's Progressive Party had ruled since 2012. Students led nearly two years of anti-corruption protests.
