The election was seen as a referendum on Vučić’s political dominance and the political system that had been in place in Serbia for more than a decade.

Serbia has entered a new political era. The Student List has won the country's parliamentary election, marking a dramatic breakthrough for a movement that emerged from months of student protests and rapidly transformed itself into the country's most important political force.

In a brief statement to the nation, outgoing Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić conceded defeat and declared that the Student List has won the majority in parliament.

Vučić said that “based on the stratified sample, it is clear that we have lost the election,” adding that “the Student List has won and will have between 135 and 140 seats, while we will have around 105.

“No one else has entered parliament. The Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (SVM) has won three seats, the Albanians one, and I think the SDA has also secured a seat,” he added.

The Serbian Progressive Party received around 1.72 million votes, admitted Vučić. The Student List won 2.2 million, giving it a majority of 52% to 32.3 %.

Great work Student List supporters! Legitimate complaints became protest. Protest became action, and action became votes.

Now, keep that focus and require your representatives to turn power into change, both short and long term.

Nice to get a good news day, this and Brazil (where the technofascists tried and failed), breath of fresh air.

Good to see Vucic go! Will be interesting to see where this goes. Vucic leaned hard on nationalism, probably this is an end of that.
