Serbia’s Leaderless Student Coalition Demits Sweeping Purges After Ousting Vučić

A leaderless movement of students and professionals has won a parliamentary majority in Serbia, ousting long-time leader Aleksandar Vučić. The Student List, formed after a fatal railway station collapse in 2024, now demands the resignation of police and security chiefs. While the movement secured 52% of the vote, it faces a 90-day transition period to form a government and implement its anti-corruption agenda without a central leader.

Serbia’s Vote: Student Coalition Challenges Vučić in Tight Race

Serbians voted Sunday in a snap parliamentary election pitting incumbent leader Aleksandar Vučić against the anti-corruption Student List movement. Polls indicate a neck-and-neck race, with Vučić’s Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) leading by a narrow margin in some surveys, while others show the students ahead. The vote follows two years of protests triggered by a fatal train station collapse in Novi Sad in 2024. Vučić, who resigned as president to run for prime minister, promises economic stability and infrastructure, while the Student List, led by cardiologist Ilija Srdanović, focuses on restoring rule of law and ending corruption. Turnout is expected to be high, with results potentially determining a significant shift in Balkan politics.
