Elections in Serbia: rejoicing in the streets, "a symbol of Europe" and congratulations from the leaders of the European Union on the victory of the student list. "In those streets where the police beat us, we now stand as winners," Sarah, 24, told The Guardian. Serbian citizens celebrate the victory of the "Student List" opposition movement. She won a majority in the country's parliament after two years of mass protests. "This is a symbol for Europe and the whole world. A demonstration of how freedom can defeat evil," says 52-year-old Dusko Subajak. The head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the President of the Council of the European Union, Antonio Costa, congratulated the list of students on their victory and promised support for the country's path to the European Union. "Today, the people of Serbia showed a record turnout to shape the future of their country," von der Leyen and Cousteau said in a joint statement. "We are ready to support reforms in the areas of the rule of law, freedom of the media, anti-corruption and strong democratic institutions, and work together to build Serbia's future in the European Union." Earlier, the country's former president Aleksandar Vucic, who was in power for 14 years, admitted the defeat of his party in the elections. According to him, the student list receives between 135 and 140 of the 250 seats in the parliament, and its supporters will receive 105 seats in the parliament.
