Joy erupted in the streets of Belgrade after Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić conceded defeat in the parliamentary elections held on Sunday. His Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) lost to the Student List, a movement characterized by its lack of traditional political leaders and the absence of career politicians among its members.
BBC correspondent Nick Thorpe reported from the capital, where large crowds gathered to celebrate the outcome. Voter turnout was recorded at a historic high, reflecting significant public engagement in the electoral process.
The shift in power marks a notable moment in Serbian politics, as Vučić has been a dominant figure in the country’s leadership for many years. The emergence of the Student List signals a potential change in the political landscape, driven by a new generation seeking to represent fresh perspectives.
As celebrations continue throughout the city, it remains to be seen how the transition will unfold and what implications it holds for the future of governance in Serbia.
