Student Movement in Serbia Leads Political Upheaval

In depth

The Serbian student movement, which grew out of the collapse of a canopy at the Novi Sad railway station in which 16 people were killed, defeated the ruling party of President Aleksandar Vucic in the elections. According to Globes, the protest that began in 2024 became a political movement that drew voters from various camps.

According to Israel Hayom, within two years the protest became a mass movement, and the students have no permanent leader. According to Maariv, the movement is preparing to form a government and end 14 years of rule that became authoritarian.

According to Maariv, the movement will confront institutions staffed by loyalists of the outgoing regime. According to Israel Hayom, it is still unclear who will head the new government.
