Serbia's Student List Demands Resignations After Election Win
Newly elected officials call for top police and intelligence leaders to step down.
By Spark News Desk · · Europe
Serbia's newly elected Student List MPs have demanded the resignation of top police, intelligence, and judiciary figures following their election victory that ousted Aleksandar Vučić's party.
The student-backed movement, which emerged from protests over a deadly 2024 railway station collapse, aims to investigate corruption and halt state plunder. Their first press conference was held in Pioneers’ Park, once a tent camp of Vučić supporters.
The group wants to prevent evidence of wrongdoing from being destroyed during the transition of power. The purge of Vučić loyalists has already begun at state broadcaster RTS.
Why it matters
The resignations could reshape Serbia’s political institutions and restore public trust in governance. The transition period will test the new government’s ability to manage reforms without losing momentum.
