Serbia's political veteran Vucic outplayed all opponents. Then the students came

On Sunday in Belgrade, Serbia, long-time political leader Aleksandar Vucic conceded a defeat for his right-wing Serbian Progressive Party. The loss followed 14 years of Vucic’s dominance in the nation's political landscape.

The defeat was delivered by a grassroots movement organized by university students. This shift marks a significant challenge to the authority of the long-ruling leader, who has been characterized in reports as a populist and authoritarian figure.
