Opposition Student List wins Serbian snap election as Vučić concedes defeat
Former Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić conceded defeat in Sunday's snap parliamentary election, ending twelve years in power as the opposition Student List secured a parliamentary majority.
Former Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has conceded defeat in Sunday’s snap parliamentary election, marking the end of his twelve-year period leading the country as prime minister and president. Addressing supporters in Belgrade, Vučić cited preliminary projections indicating that the opposition Student List movement won between 135 and 140 seats in the 250-member parliament, clearing the 126-seat majority threshold.
The ruling coalition is expected to retain around 105 seats following an election defined by record voter turnout and preceded by two years of sustained anti-government demonstrations. Large crowds gathered in the streets of Belgrade to celebrate the opposition's projected victory as official results await final certification from electoral authorities.
