PoliticsSerbia’s Vucic concedes defeat after student-led election victory

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has conceded defeat in parliamentary elections, recognizing a major win for the student-led movement that challenged his political dominance after nearly two years of protests. The vote followed the 2024 Novi Sad railway station disaster, which killed 16 and sparked mass demonstrations over alleged government corruption. Record turnout reflected voters’ demands for accountability and political change.
