Serbia's 90-Day Clock Begins After Student List Landslide

The Student List has won 53% of the vote in Serbia, ending 14 years of ruling party dominance, and this victory has set a 90-day clock to form a new government. The movement, which has no experience of government, is preparing to start talks on forming a government capable of reversing 14 years of increasingly authoritarian nationalist rule. With 100% of ballot samples counted, projected results from the Centre for Free Elections and Democracy in Belgrade showed the Student List on 53% of the vote, giving it 141 MPs in the 250-seat parliament. The Student List's win marks a profound political shift in Serbia, and the country must hold new presidential elections before 27 December, since Vučić stepped down to run for prime minister.
