Serbia votes as ruling party faces student-led anti-corruption list

Polls have opened in Serbia for its most fiercely contested parliamentary election in over 14 years. The election is a response to nearly two years of student-led protests sparked by a 2024 railway station tragedy that killed 16 people and was widely blamed on corruption. The protests have led to a student-led anti-corruption list challenging the ruling party, which has been in power under veteran leader Aleksandar Vucic. The outcome of this election will be closely watched, as it could have significant implications for the country's government and economy.
