Studentska lista Serbian elections Ilija Srdanović political polarization SNS

The Studentska lista political movement in Serbia is facing intense scrutiny and debate ahead of the 2026 parliamentary elections. The list, led by cardiologist Ilija Srdanović, includes 250 candidates. While Srdanović has gained public attention for calls for social unity and tolerance, the movement faces significant criticism from various political analysts.

Analyst Dragomir Anđelković has alleged that the movement is being usurped by NGOs and former members of the Democratic Party. Other critics, such as Zoran Vuletić, have labeled the list's economic platform as populist and unrealistic. Additionally, internal conflicts have been reported, including the departure of professor Milo Lompari from the list.

Journalist Đorđe Vlajić has raised concerns regarding potential regime retaliation and voter intimidation if the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) faces electoral defeat. Meanwhile, reports indicate that AI-generated profiles are being utilized to spread propaganda against the movement. Candidate Oliver Tošković emphasized that the movement's core mission is the strengthening of state institutions rather than just a change in leadership.
