Serbia's Student-Led Movement Challenges Vucic in High-Stakes Parliamentary Election
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 anti-corruption protests sparked by a 2024 railway disaster that killed 16 people, the movement fields 250 candidates from diverse backgrounds, many without political experience. The election is seen as a referendum on Vucic's governance, with concerns about media control and election fairness noted by observers. Turnout is expected to be high, and the outcome could reshape Serbia's political landscape.
