Celebrations in Serbia after veteran ruler Vučić loses election to student-led protest movement

The populist right-wing leader of 12 years says it is "clear" his party has lost the vote billed as a referendum on the country's future.

What the coverage shows

Most outlets focus on Vucic’s loss and describe it as a major political shift, with CBS News, the Associated Press and The Independent all stressing a student-led or youth-backed challenge and the end of his long rule. The Economist stands out for calling him an autocrat and foregrounding the protest movement’s democratic aims. Al Jazeera is the only outlet here to frame the story explicitly around what the defeat could mean for Serbia’s foreign policy, warning that any turn toward the West may be delayed.
