In Serbia, the exemplary victory of the anti-corruption movement

On September 7, Serbia showcased its dark side during Ratko Mladic's funeral, attended by thousands who viewed him as a hero despite his war crimes. However, on October 25, a student movement achieved a significant victory in legislative elections, defeating nationalist Aleksandar Vucic, who had been in power for fourteen years. This movement arose from public outrage over the government's mishandling of a tragic incident in Novi Sad that resulted in 16 deaths. Vucic's attempts to suppress the protests failed, and he faced increasing demands for the rule of law. The student movement now confronts challenges in defining its identity and objectives while navigating the persistent influence of Serbian nationalism and pro-Russian sentiments.
