Serbia: Tens of thousands rally ahead of elections

In Serbia, over 150,000 people rallied in support of the student-led movement ahead of a crucial election against President Aleksandar Vucic. The protests, sparked by a tragic incident in 2024, have evolved into a significant challenge to Vucic's decade-long rule. The Student List, representing the youth, aims to bring change and has garnered widespread support. Vucic, facing mounting pressure, called for snap elections and has accused the movement of foreign influence. Concerns about election fairness and potential unrest post-vote have been raised by civil society groups, highlighting the tense political climate.
