Student-Led Movement Mounts Strong Challenge Against Aleksandar Vučić In Serbia

The Student List movement emerged as a major opposition challenger in Serbia's parliamentary elections, fielding 250 candidates led by cardiologist Ilija Srdanović.

The movement grew out of nearly two years of anti-corruption protests triggered by the fatal collapse of a railway station canopy in Novi Sad.

Long-serving leader Aleksandar Vučić defended his administration's economic record while dismissing the student movement as foreign-backed amid predictions of a tight vote.
