Serbia's student-led movement defeats Aleksandar Vucic's party in parliamentary elections
A grassroots student-led movement, Student List, won Serbia's snap parliamentary elections, unseating longtime leader Aleksandar Vucic's Serbian Progressive Party. The movement emerged from nearly two years of protests that began after a canopy collapse at a Novi Sad train station killed 16 people in 2024. Vucic conceded defeat and blamed foreign interference.

The split, in one line
Coverage agrees on the outcome but splits on emphasis: one outlet frames it as a historic ouster of an authoritarian, another as an opaque movement with unclear leadership, while the wires dwell on Vucic's 14-year career and foreign interference claims.
