## Summary

Serbia’s election authorities have confirmed that the student-led opposition won a majority in the 25 October parliamentary election, clearing the way for it to form a new government. The result marks a major shift after 14 years of rule by Aleksandar Vučić’s Serbian Progressive Party and follows two years of student protests over corruption and government accountability.

The Students’ List will hold 140 of the 250 seats, compared with 103 for Vučić’s party; ethnic minority parties will take the remainder. Its candidates include professors, teachers and other specialists with little political experience, and have pledged to strengthen the rule of law and tackle corruption. Parliament must convene within 30 days after mandates are formally allocated, while detentions over alleged election fraud, attacks on protesters and corruption have continued.
