The Studentska lista opposition movement in Serbia, led by Ilija Srdanović, faces intensifying scrutiny ahead of the October 25 parliamentary elections. The group has dealt with allegations of internal misconduct, including claims of psychological torture against Srdanović, and accusations from SNS President Miloš Vučević that the movement serves as a front for state employees. ~~Recent developments highlight a sophisticated disinformation campaign.~~ A growing number of Facebook profiles are reportedly using artificial intelligence to spread propaganda against the movement. These phantom profiles utilize AI-generated faces and voices to deliver identical, offensive content targeting Srdanović and other members such as Željko Hubač, Sanja Fric, Jovan Bakić, and Tijomira Stanić. Srdanović, a professor at the Faculty of Medicine in Novi Sad, has also faced criticism regarding his diplomatic readiness after declining a televised debate with President Aleksandar Vučić, responding via social media that ‘Ignor is very painful.’ Further scrutiny has emerged regarding his background, including claims by Nebojša Obrknežev that Srdanović was removed from a polling station in Sečanj, and questions regarding the temporary disappearance of his Instagram account. Candidate conduct and foreign political links remain central themes. Critics have highlighted photos of 31st candidate Živojin Milovanović involving alcohol, alongside questions regarding his disability status. Additionally, connections to Montenegrin interests persist; Miloje Karadžić, a vice president of the ‘Mladi Evrope’ youth organization linked to Montenegro’s ruling PES party, has published analyses regarding electoral strategies that could assist Studentska lista in outperforming the ruling SNS. As the election nears, the ~~coalition has released~~ movement is emerging as a significant political factor with a roster of 250 ~~candidates. However,~~ candidates, including 106 based in Belgrade. While the list seeks to expand its reach, critics have noted a lack of representation from certain Belgrade municipalities, such as Mladenovac, which contrasts with the group’s ‘Student in every village’ campaign message. Political support for the list is diversifying. Slobodan Janković, president of the Serbian Democratic Alliance, announced his intention to vote for the list to oppose the current ruling cartel. Additionally, Predrag Marsenić of the Authentic Right coalition expressed a desire to form a technical government with Studentska lista if they secure a majority. Connections to Montenegrin interests persist through Miloje Karadžić, a leader within the youth wing of Montenegro’s PES party, who has publicly advocated for the list to outperform the ruling SNS.
