In Serbia and Hungary, Groundswells of Youthful Energy Topple Entrenched Governments
Students turned anger over corruption into an election upset after a 2024 station collapse killed 16 people, forcing Aleksandar Vucic to concede defeat.
- On Sunday, October 25, 2026, long-time ruler Aleksandar Vucic conceded defeat to the 'Student List- Students Win' coalition in parliamentary elections, marking a profound political shift in the Balkan country of 6 million people.
- Anger at Vucic's government grew following a 2024 train station collapse in Novi Sad that killed 16 people, with protesters blaming the tragedy on high-level corruption and cronyism, a charge Vucic denies.
- Ecstatic revelers filled the streets of Belgrade, tearing down barricades around the 'Caciland' encampment that had long restricted access to a park between Parliament and Vucic's offices.
- The 250 student-backed candidates now face the daunting task of governing, though political commentator Ivan Milenkovic warned that 'taking them out, dealing with them, is going to be one hell of a job.'
- Protests have recently spread to Albania, where demonstrations against Prime Minister Edi Rama have escalated over allegations of corruption, echoing broader youth frustration across the Balkans.
