This story is from the archive. It was covered between 26 October 2026 and 27 October 2026, and nothing below has been updated since. See what is happening now.

Thousands gathered on the streets of Belgrade for a second night to celebrate the student-led movement's victory.

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.
