Serbian elections: populists against Vucic - European Western Balkans The parliamentary elections in Serbia on October 25 come amid a major political challenge for the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and Aleksandar Vucic. The main opponent of the government is the student movement, which unites those who are dissatisfied with the corruption, the state of state institutions and the lack of responsibility for the tragedy at the train station in Novi Sad in November 2024, in which 16 people died. However, despite broad public support, the movement has yet to present a clear and sufficiently detailed political plan that would explain exactly how it intends to govern the country and implement the declared changes. His agenda focuses primarily on fighting corruption, restoring the rule of law, and reforming government institutions, while specific mechanisms for systemic change remain poorly developed. The uncertainty in foreign policy is particularly noticeable. The student movement aims to unite the widest range of voters, while avoiding clear positions on the most sensitive international issues. In particular, his approaches to the continued integration of Serbia into the European Union, relations with Russia and China, as well as to the solution of the Kosovo issue are almost never revealed. As a result, voters do not get a clear idea of ​​what the country's international trajectory will be if the opposition comes to power. The desire to postpone discussion of controversial issues allows the movement to maintain internal unity, but at the same time highlights the lack of a coherent foreign policy strategy. Therefore, the protest against the current government has not yet turned into a holistic view of the future development of Serbia.
