Student movement wins elections in Serbia and ousts Aleksandar Vučić after 14 years

In Serbia, a student movement has successfully ousted Aleksandar Vučić after 14 years in power, winning the elections with approximately 52% of the votes. Celebrations erupted in major cities as Vučić acknowledged his defeat, with the student coalition securing around 140 seats in parliament. This political shift stems from public outrage following a tragic infrastructure collapse in 2024, which sparked widespread protests led by students. The movement distinguished itself by excluding active student leaders from candidacy, presenting a diverse group of independent candidates. The new coalition aims to reform public contracts, restore judicial independence, and depoliticize state institutions.
