WorldNPRSerbia’s student movement defeats Russia-backed leader : NPR
Serbia's student-led protest movement has won the parliamentary election, pushing long-serving Russia-backed leader Aleksandar Vucic into a distant second place.
A political earthquake in Serbia as a student-backed movement wins the parliamentary election, ending more than a decade of dominance by a Moscow-backed populist leader.
Serbia's youth-led Student List won more than half the votes in Sunday's parliamentary election, ending over a decade of rule by Aleksandar Vucic.
Vucic conceded defeat shortly after polls closed, triggering street celebrations with champagne, fireworks and crowds filling Belgrade's streets overnight.
The Student List had no hierarchy, no leader and no political experience, making the result one of the most surprising upsets in recent European political history.
