The snap elections came following nearly two years of student-driven demonstrations against perceived corruption and creeping authoritarianism

What the coverage shows
All of the outlets frame the story as a student-led protest movement defeating Aleksandar Vučić and ending his long rule, with several calling the result historic or seismic. Reuters, BBC, NBC, Axios and France 24 emphasize concession, celebrations, and the election outcome itself, while The Economist is the most explicit in calling Vučić an autocrat and saying the movement hopes for a true democracy. The Guardian is alone in foregrounding hopes for a reset in relations with the EU and other partners.
