  "summary": "Serbia entered its vote silence period on Thursday, 22 October, as campaigning concluded ahead of a parliamentary election that pits the ruling United Serbia list, led by President Aleksandar Vučić, against a student-led challenger, the Student List. Polls have been split, with the latest Ipsos survey giving the ruling list 47.4% and the Student List 40.0%, while an NSPM telephone poll put the Student List ahead among decided voters at 44.5%. The outcome of the election, which will be held on Sunday, October 26, will reveal whether a long-dominant party can lose to a youth-led movement with no single leader, and how far public anger over the 2024 Novi Sad railway station disaster has reshaped Serbian politics.",
