Election result and context
According to projections, the opposition Student List won the snap parliamentary vote, taking an estimated 51-52 percent of the vote and 138-140 of the 250 parliamentary seats, compared with 103-105 seats for Aleksandar Vučić’s list. Vučić publicly acknowledged defeat even before official results were released.
The elections came after nearly two years of student-led protests in Serbia focused on corruption and the governing authorities.
In her post on X the president wrote: "Congratulations on the outcome of today's elections in Serbia! The Serbian citizens demonstrated democratic maturity through a peaceful transfer of political power" — a message she directed to the citizens and to the peaceful change in government.
