Student movement challenges Vučić's 12-year rule in Serbian snap election

Serbia votes Sunday in a snap parliamentary election in which a student-led movement, born from the 2024 Novi Sad station collapse, challenges Aleksandar Vučić's long dominance.

• Serbia holds the snap parliamentary election on Sunday, with 18 lists contesting 250 seats among 6.45 million registered voters.
• The Student List–Students Win movement grew from weekly protests triggered by the November 2024 Novi Sad railway canopy collapse that killed 16.
• Lead candidate Ilija Srdanović said the 11-point plan aims to change the system, including a police unit to arrest corrupt officials.
• The watchdog CRTA said ministries and local governments engaged in "electoral engineering" ahead of the vote.
