Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia's nationalist leader, conceded defeat in the country's parliamentary election on Sunday, ending 14 years of his party's rule. The outcome, driven by a student-led movement campaigning against corruption, could lead to increased scrutiny of Chinese investments in Serbia. Vucic's right-wing Serbian Progressive Party lost to the Students' List, which is projected to win between 135 and 140 seats in the 250-member parliament. Vucic blamed independent media and alleged foreign interference for the loss, while his opponents celebrated the victory.
