The student movement that is now taking power emerged after the tragedy of November 1, 2024 in the Serbian city of Novi Sad. At that time, a concrete canopy collapsed at the train station. 16 people were killed. The tragedy sparked mass protests across the country, which later grew into a nationwide movement against the government and President Aleksandar Vucic, whom the protesters accused of corruption and power-mongering.

During the year 2025, students organized mass rallies, blocking universities, roads and government institutions. Teachers joined the movement, and later all kinds of groups joined - football fans, trade unions, human rights activists. Over time, the student movement became a political force and presented its own list of candidates in the parliamentary elections - the students' main opponent was the ruling Serbian Progressive Party, which is associated with Lucic. The party was in power for even 14 years: in 2012 he became the first deputy prime minister of Serbia, in 2014 he headed the government, and in 2017 he became the president.
