Serbia's Student List secures majority in snap parliamentary election, ousting long-serving leader Aleksandar Vucic. The victory marks a pivotal shift in the country's political landscape, with the student-led movement poised to reshape governance.

The Student List, led by Ilija Srdanović, is projected to win between 135-140 seats, surpassing Vucic's SNS party which secures 104 seats. The election, marked by high turnout and street celebrations, signals a new era for Serbia.

The result underscores a broader trend of pro-democracy forces challenging authoritarian regimes across Europe, with the Student List vowing to prioritize accountability and transparency. The election also highlights the growing influence of youth activism in shaping political outcomes.

The election results, confirmed by pollsters, reflect a decisive shift in public sentiment, with voters supporting the student movement over the incumbent government. The outcome is expected to have significant implications for Serbia's political future and its relationship with international partners.
