- A new government is due within 90 days.

## Summary

Serbia’s new parliament will hold its first session on 17 November, following an election in which a student-led movement won a majority of seats and defeated the party of former president Aleksandar Vučić. The result marks a major shift after nearly 14 years of Serbian Progressive Party rule and follows two years of protests over corruption and state accountability.

The Students’ List won 140 of the assembly’s 250 seats, compared with 103 for the Serbian Progressive Party; ethnic-minority parties hold the remainder. Parliament will choose a speaker and other bodies before a new government is formed within 90 days, while Serbia must also hold a presidential election by year-end. The protests began after a 2024 railway-station canopy collapse killed 16 people, and the movement says it will restore the rule of law and tackle corruption.
