Serbia Holds Parliamentary Election Amid Student-Led Challenge to Vucic's Rule
Serbia is holding a parliamentary election amid a significant challenge to Aleksandar Vucic's 12-year rule by a student-led movement known as the Student List. Originating from protests sparked by a 2024 railway disaster that killed 16 people and alleged corruption, the movement fields 250 candidates from diverse backgrounds, many without political experience. The election is highly contested, with opinion polls showing a tight race. Concerns about election fairness have been raised, and the outcome could signal a major political shift in Serbia.
