Serbia election: After two years of protests – student list could become the strongest force in Serbia
A close election outcome is emerging. The Progressive Party of former President Vucic could be replaced after more than a decade. For the EU, this is not only good news.
The Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) of former President Aleksandar Vucic may lose its majority in the snap parliamentary election on October 25. According to current polls, the SNS and the newcomer Students' List are neck and neck with just over 40 percent each, although predictions vary widely. Around 6.4 million people are eligible to vote.
Even if the Students' List wins, forming a government quickly is unlikely as they rule out a coalition with opposition parties, leaving them without a partner if they don't achieve an absolute majority.
