How a movement of students brought down Serbia's Vučić

A student-led movement in Serbia has successfully challenged the political dominance of Aleksandar Vučić, culminating in a national referendum against his government. Triggered by a tragic incident in 2024, the protests evolved from university campuses to a broader anti-corruption campaign, uniting various societal groups. Despite not fielding candidates themselves, the movement's influence led to significant electoral gains for their supporters. The elected representatives now face the task of implementing an 11-point manifesto aimed at eradicating corruption and reforming the media. Although the students did not run for office, they remain pivotal in shaping Serbia's political future.
