Student movement topples Serbia's longtime ruling party
A student-led protest movement has ended the 14-year rule of Serbia's right-wing party, former President Aleksandar Vučić conceded Sunday. Why it matters: The historic upset sidelines a Balkan strongman who courted President Trump's family and allies, raising questions about future U.S.

What the coverage shows
All the outlets converge on a student-led or student-backed movement defeating Aleksandar Vučić’s long rule, with heavy emphasis on celebrations in Belgrade and on some form of concession or defeat. Reuters, AP, Channel 4, NBC, and CBS foreground the street scenes and concession, while NPR, The Economist, and Al Jazeera frame it more as a political upheaval or broader democratic turning point. The Guardian is the only outlet that explicitly shifts toward what comes next, with one extract focusing on talks to form a government and another on the movement’s post-victory direction.
