According to Israel Hayom, the parliamentary elections in Serbia became the most dramatic test for Aleksandar Vucic, against the backdrop of almost two years of protests led by students against corruption. According to Haaretz, Vucic resigned from the presidency to run for prime minister. According to Kan News, Vucic conceded defeat to the Student List, which was formed in the wake of the mass protest against the government.
