Serbian Studentska lista victory and political tensions

Overview

Following extraordinary elections on October 25, the Studentska lista movement, led by cardiologist Ilija Srdanović, secured 140 of 250 seats. This victory, following the November 2024 Novi Sad railway station collapse, marks a shift from the decade-long dominance of Aleksandar Vučić and the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS). Significant political friction has emerged between the new majority and former leadership. Radomir Saičić, a Studentska lista candidate, stated the movement aims to restore the rule of law, ensure freedom of information, and implement systemic reforms. Conversely, Acting President Ana Brnabić has accused the Studentska lista of creating an “atmosphere of terror, pressure, and intimidation” against citizens and state institutions. She alleged the new leadership is disregarding the Constitution, prompting the Aleksandar Vučić – United Serbia group to form a parliamentary club named “Serbia Against Terror” to oppose them. The constitutive session for the 15th National Assembly is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17, at 10:00 AM. Outgoing Speaker Ana Brnabić has set the agenda to include the confirmation of mandates, the election of the Speaker and deputy speakers, the appointment of the General Secretary, and the formation of parliamentary committees. Until a new Speaker is elected, the session will be chaired by Professor Stojan Radenović. Within the Studentska lista, discussions regarding the Speaker candidate are ongoing, with Professor Aleksandar Cupić having been proposed by transport faculty students. Additionally, Studentska lista candidate and economist Dejan Soskić has expressed intentions to maintain a fixed exchange rate for the dinar once the party assumes executive power. Since the election, a wave of arrests has targeted high-ranking officials, including police commanders Marko Kričak, Boško Sekulić, and Igor Žmirič, alongside various local administrators and business directors.
