How students rocked Serbia’s presidential election – video explainer

Serbia's presidential election saw a historic shift in power as long-serving leader Aleksandar Vučić conceded defeat.

The students' efforts to bring about change have now paid off, with their preferred candidate emerging victorious in the election. This seismic shift in Serbia's politics is significant, as it marks a potential end to Vučić's authoritarian rule and could pave the way for a more democratic government.
