Student Movement Achieves Electoral Victory in Serbia

The Student List, formed by the student movement in Serbia, achieved a historic success by winning enough seats to secure a majority in the parliamentary elections held on October 25, 2026. This result marked a significant turning point during Aleksandar Vucic's 14-year tenure in power.

The Student List, established under the leadership of the student movement in Serbia, won a majority in parliament in the elections held on October 25, 2026. The movement had emerged following anti-corruption protests that began after the collapse of the train station roof in Novi Sad in November 2024, which resulted in the deaths of 16 people. The protests, lasting nearly two years, had disrupted university education and enabled the student movement to make its voice heard through international campaigns. Following the election result, President Aleksandar Vucic acknowledged defeat, while discussions also began regarding the potential impacts of the victory on higher education and European Union accession processes.
