Students in Serbia challenge Vucic's power at the polls after nearly two years of protests

In Serbia, student protests have led to early elections, challenging President Aleksandar Vucic's 14-year rule. Vucic resigned to run for prime minister, facing the newly formed Student List, led by Ilija Srdanovic. The elections are seen as a referendum on Vucic's leadership, with polls indicating a close race. The protests began after a tragic train station collapse, highlighting corruption issues. Students have avoided appointing leaders to prevent reprisals and have organized numerous marches. Vucic's recent rally drew significant crowds, but the Student List's demonstration in Belgrade surpassed it, indicating rising support for change.
