A historic moment for Serbia! 🇷🇸🇪🇺
This victory belongs to citizens who demanded accountability, democracy and a better future.
It must also be a wake-up call for the EU that must carry out the reforms needed to welcome Serbia when it fulfils the conditions for membership.
The students have won. Through tireless work, countless gatherings, relentless mobilisation and organisation, and tens of thousands of miles walked, they have built a movement rooted in solidarity. By reaching out to their fellow students and citizens, calling for support and standing together, they have achieved what once seemed impossible: defeating Vučić.
Una lezione di libertà da parte degli studenti in Serbia.
La lotta poltica non violenta fatta dagli studenti serbi ha ottenuto il consenso della maggioranza. L’ex presidente serbo Aleksander Vucic ha ammesso la sconfitta elettorale, affermando che la Lista studentesca otterrà la maggioranza nel nuovo Parlamento.
Il governo di Vucic è stato travolto dagli scandali di corruzione; non ha pagato elettoralmente la strategia della paura fatta di arresti arbitrari e di compressione delle libertà fondamentali.
Ora si apre una nuova pagina politica in Serbia e si può riaprire la prospettiva dell’adesione al comune destino europeo.
We are receiving repeated warnings that people linked to Aleksandar Vučić’s Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) may be mobilised to provoke confrontations at around 9 pm tonight, as the first election projections emerge.
The students want free, peaceful elections and a result decided at the ballot box. The higher the turnout, the greater Vučić’s fear of defeat — and the greater the risk of deliberate provocations.
Vučić and his government have allowed a climate of intimidation and violence to grow. They bear full political responsibility for preventing any further escalation. If SNS-linked groups are deployed to trigger clashes, Vučić must be held accountable.
We demand immediate police protection for voters, candidates, students and observers.
Serbia’s future must be decided by votes, never by violence.
From what I'm seeing that's coming in from serbia....
There's a real chance they'll get rid of Vucic today....
He can't win this. And if he refuses to accept the results, or steals votes, he risks another 5th of October.
I really don't know how he can survive this
