Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has conceded defeat in snap parliamentary elections after a student-led movement secured a major victory, according to preliminary results. The Student List was projected to win 52.9% of the vote, while Vučić’s Serbian Progressive Party received 1.72 million votes, against the students’ 2.2 million. Turnout reached 69.34%, one of the highest levels in years. Celebrations erupted in Belgrade, Novi Sad and other cities, with crowds chanting “victory” and setting off fireworks. The movement emerged after a railway station canopy collapse killed 16 people in Novi Sad in 2024, triggering nationwide anti-corruption protests.
