Serbian Student List Begins Coalition Talks After Parliamentary Victory

Serbian Student List Begins Coalition Talks After Parliamentary Victory

The Guardian reported that the leaderless Student List, which secured a parliamentary majority in Serbia’s snap election on 23 October, began coalition negotiations on 26 October to form a government and reverse 14 years of nationalist rule, aiming to assemble a governing coalition. President Aleksandar Vučić acknowledged defeat after preliminary results showed the Student List would win 135-140 seats, ending his decade-long rule.

The Student List won 140 of the 250 seats, while the Serbian Progressive Party fell to 104. The snap vote was called amid concerns over fairness and reports of violence, and both the student movement and the ruling party held rallies ahead of the ballot.

Résumé

Three claims were partially confirmed: President Aleksandar Vučić stated on October 25, 2026, that preliminary results indicate the student-led list will secure 135-140 seats; the Student List coalition reported a record-high turnout and a parliamentary win on October 25, 2026; and Aleksandar Vučić said on October 25, 2026, that his party had lost the vote. One claim lacked sufficient evidence: the snap parliamentary vote taking place on October 22, 2026.
