Serbia's student protest movement drove Aleksandar Vučić from power in Sunday's snap parliamentary election, and Vučić conceded that night that his Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) had lost after 14 years in government. Citing his party's own sample, Vučić said the Student List would take between 135 and 140 of the 250 seats and his list 105, and only ethnic minority parties crossed the threshold besides the two. The election monitor CRTA's projection gave the Student List 51.5 per cent against 40.2 per cent for Vučić's United Serbia list. The results are preliminary, and the Republic Electoral Commission has not yet published its final count.

Serbians voted in the highest numbers since the breakup of Yugoslavia, with turnout at 67.6 per cent by 7pm according to the monitors CeSID and Ipsos, and queues of up to two hours outside polling stations. The electoral commission's own figure at 6pm was 64.9 per cent, against 51.93 per cent at the same point in the 2023 election. Serbians abroad were made to vote in the middle of the night after the authorities tied voting hours to Serbian time.

Vučić blamed foreign enemies even as he conceded, calling the result “the legitimization of a revolution carried out by the people with direct support from various European countries and the American deep state, the one that opposes President Trump”. He also blamed Serbia’s independent media, and told supporters that the new government would impose sanctions on Russia by March or April.
