Thousands Rally in Belgrade as Serbia Faces Crucial Parliamentary Elections
Around 150,000 supporters of Serbia's opposition student movement rallied in Belgrade ahead of pivotal parliamentary elections seeking to end over 14 years of rule by Aleksandar Vucic's Serbian Progressive Party. The Student List, a leaderless student-backed group, emerged from protests triggered by a 2024 railway station collapse blamed on corruption. Civil society groups have raised concerns about intimidation and media bias during the campaign. The election is seen as the biggest challenge to Vucic's hold on power since 2012.
