Serbia’s Parliament to meet on Nov. 17 after student-led movement won election over strongman Vucic
The student-led bloc won 140 of 250 seats and plans reforms on corruption, rule of law and public institutions.
- On Sunday, outgoing Parliament speaker Ana Brnabic announced that Serbia's Parliament will hold its first session on Nov. 17, dominated by The Students following their election triumph last month.
- The Students List secured 140 seats in the 250-member assembly during the Oct. election, outperforming the Serbian Progressive Party and ending The SNS's 14 years of unchallenged rule.
- Composed largely of professors and experts, The Students promised to restore the rule of law and terminate corruption after toppling strongman Aleksandar Vucic following two years of street Protests.
- Before forming a new government within 90 days, The Parliament will first appoint a new speaker and other bodies, while the change in power leads to detentions regarding suspected election fraud.
- Vucic has accused his opponents of "revolutionary terror," though his party remains in charge for now, as Serbia must also hold an early presidential election by year-end following his Sept. resignation.
