Wochik leaves - the students win. Serbia's youth spent the whole night celebrating the victory over a ruler close to the Kremlin. Putin loses penultimate friend in Europe Serbia is celebrating the opposition's election victory over the party of former president Aleksandar Vucic, who has held senior positions since 2014. A MO reporter visited the jubilant streets of Belgrade after the polls closed. In Belgrade, people took to the streets, drivers honked their horns in support of the winners - the Student List, a new party founded in September to represent protesters in parliament who have been demanding reforms and a change of government for two years. Cars with Serbian flags appeared on the roads and impromptu parades began. Traffic in the city center was completely paralyzed - tens of thousands of people gathered in the main squares. They chanted "Vucic leaves" and "Students win" (this is one of the protesters' slogans). People waved flags, danced, lit firecrackers and fireworks, hugged and congratulated each other. No police were seen in the center. Mass protests in Serbia began in November 2024 after the collapse of the station canopy in Novi Sad, in which 16 people were killed. The core of the protesters were students and youth, rallies were held in all major cities in Serbia. They came out with the slogans "Corruption kills", "Vachiv is a thief! ", "Serbia or the mafia", "Serbia against violence". Young politicians demand "European standards of living and laws within the country", but are disillusioned with the current policies of Brussels. A few days before the election, Vucic gave an interview to Ksenia Sobchak. He criticized the militarization of Europe, justified Putin's position in the Ukrainian conflict and said that the opposition would impose sanctions against Russia if it won the election. Vucic came at the invitation of Putin to the victory parade and was one of the "European trio" of Moscow's friends, together with the leaders of Hungary and Slovakia Orbán (who also lost the elections) and Fitz.
