Story summary

On October 25, 2026, Student List, a two-year-old youth-led protest movement in Serbia, won a historic victory over the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and its longtime leader Aleksandar Vučić in parliamentary elections. This marks Vučić’s first political defeat after dominating Serbian politics since 2012. The election saw around 150,000 supporters rally in Belgrade before the vote, with many believing this is a turning point for Serbia's future and its foreign policy direction. Post-election celebrations continued into their second night as thousands of jubilant citizens filled the streets of Belgrade to mark the end of Vučić’s 14-year tenure.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
