What the coverage shows

All outlets converge on the student-led movement’s victory and the scenes of celebration in Belgrade, with most also noting Aleksandar Vučić’s concession. The Independent alone says the student-backed list won a majority in the 250-seat parliament, while Al Jazeera’s later item and France 24 both shift toward what comes next, with Al Jazeera focusing on uncertainty over key posts and France 24 on the post-election challenges. The Economist is the most overtly characterising in its headline, calling Vučić an “autocrat.”
