Tense Elections in Serbia: Students Challenge Vucic's Rule

Serbia is holding tense parliamentary elections today, with longtime leader Aleksandar Vucic facing an unprecedented political challenge from a student protest movement. According to reports by Dutch broadcaster NOS and German news program Tagesschau, the student list poses a serious threat to the continued rule of Vucic and his ruling party.

Vucic, who is seeking to become prime minister after resigning as president, is facing a backlash that grew following the collapse at the Novi Sad train station, which killed 16 people. The disaster sparked widespread demonstrations against government corruption. According to polls, the race is exceptionally close, and official results have not yet been released.
