Serbia's Vučiċ ousted by student movement after Orbán's April defeat
Briefing by News4U · First published
BBC World reports that Serbia's Student List won a landslide parliamentary election on Sunday, mirroring Hungary's April vote that removed Viktor Orbán. The Student List secured 140 of 250 seats after 69% turnout, while Hungary's Tisza party won 140 of 199 seats with 79% turnout. Both victories were driven by tech-savvy young voters using AI tools and election monitors to prevent fraud. Vučiċ conceded defeat at 21:30, as Orbán did on 12 April. The Novi Sad station canopy collapse on 1 November 2024, which killed 16 people, catalyzed Serbia's student movement. [1]
