PoliticsJoy and disbelief in Serbia as Vucic concedes election defeat

Serbia’s long-serving leader Aleksandar Vucic acknowledged defeat in snap parliamentary elections to the student-led protest movement. Preliminary election commission figures showed record turnout, which commentators had said could benefit the students. Celebrations followed his concession. Vucic called the vote after two years of protests sparked by a canopy collapse at a train station in Novi Sad that killed 16 people.
