Serbia's long-serving leader, Aleksandar Vucic, has conceded defeat in a seismic political shift following a fiercely contested parliamentary election. A student-led movement, the Student List, is projected to win a majority in the country's 250-seat parliament, with preliminary results suggesting they will secure between 135 and 140 seats, while Vucic's Serbian Progressive party garnered 104. The election saw a record voter turnout of 67.6%, the highest since 1992. The Student List has called for an overhaul of media outlets that were perceived as mouthpieces for Vucic's government.
