Almost as many people in Serbia voted for Vučić's list as three years ago: 1.73 million against 1.78 million. But the Student List received 2.35 million votes, 1.4 million more than the main opposition in 2023. Turnout rose by 612,000 people and the other parties all but disappeared. We look at how it happened, where the students won and what lies ahead for Serbia.

Aleksandar Vučić conceded defeat in Serbia's parliamentary election at around half past nine in the evening, based on his own party's sample. The official running count then covered a tenth of a per cent of voters and kept his list in the lead until 23:14. The DataTimes.cz prediction confirmed the students' victory from official data at 22:01. The Student List has 53.7% of valid votes and, by our calculation, 141 of 250 seats.
