Student List – Students Win submits candidacy for Serbian elections

Student List – Students Win Ilija Srdanović Serbian parliamentary elections anti-corruption protests Aleksandar Vučić

The 'Student List – Students Win' has officially submitted its candidacy to the Republic Electoral Commission for the snap parliamentary elections scheduled for October 25. The list features 250 candidates, led by Dr. Ilija Srdanović, a prominent cardiologist and university professor from Novi Sad. The movement claims to have gathered over 70,000 signatures of support following widespread protests across Serbia.

The student movement’s political program is structured around 11 key points divided into three main sections: 'Serbia or Mafia', 'Knowledge is Power', and 'Serbia Grows with Us'. Their platform focuses on combating corruption, judicial reform, media independence, and educational modernization. The movement emerged from large-scale anti-government protests triggered by the November 2024 railway station canopy collapse in Novi Sad, which resulted in 16 deaths.

President Aleksandar Vučić has criticized the list, describing it as having 'no name, program, or plans' and suggesting it lacks genuine student representation. He has also accused the movement of being influenced by foreign powers. In response, the student movement has continued its campaign, presenting its plan through regional tours and public gatherings.
