The student list wins Serbian parliamentary elections

The student list won the snap parliamentary elections in Serbia, receiving 52% of the votes according to provisional data. This result corresponds to 139 seats in the Belgrade parliament. The party Serbia United, led by former president Aleksandar Vucic, received 39% of the votes, which equals 104 seats. No other party surpassed the 3% threshold.

Voter turnout reached 70%. Former president Aleksandar Vucic admitted defeat following the preliminary results, though he claimed the student campaign was dishonest and stated he would not make concessions to the opposition. Radomir Saicic, an academic and candidate for the student list, said the results demonstrated the determination of the citizens.

Nikolay Krastev, an analyst for the television station Btv, described the vote as historic. He noted the significant turnout and the long lines of voters at polling stations. Following the results, peaceful demonstrations and car processions occurred in Belgrade, other Serbian cities, and some capitals.
