Following their historic parliamentary election win that ousted Aleksandar Vučić, Serbia's "Student List" movement has begun targeting media outlets, with supporters storming the offices of a pro-government tabloid. Another news organization has issued an apology for years of "one-sided" coverage, signaling a potential shift in the country's media landscape.
The non-hierarchical movement, which emerged from mass protests, faces the significant challenge of forming a government and rebuilding institutions after 12 years of what has been described as authoritarian rule. The election results have raised hopes for a reset in Serbia's relations with the European Union and other international partners, with EU Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos suggesting the victory could be a "new start" for the country's EU accession efforts, provided it adheres to EU rules.
