Serbia Sees High Voter Turnout as Student-Led Movement Challenges Ruling Party in Parliamentary Election

Serbia is experiencing one of its highest election turnouts in recent years as a student-led movement aims to unseat the party of veteran leader Aleksandar Vucic. The snap vote follows nearly two years of student protests, which have drawn large crowds. International and local monitors have raised concerns about the safety and fairness of the election campaign, citing detentions, government control over media, and reports of surveillance and cyberattacks against activists.
