Aleksandar Vucic defeated in Serbia election as student protest movement claims historic win
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 coverage centers on the student-led movement’s electoral challenge to Aleksandar Vučić, with several outlets also emphasizing his concession or defeat. Reuters, BBC, NBC, Al Jazeera and The Independent all frame the result as historic or as the end of his long rule, while AP is still ahead of the result and casts the election as a showdown, and CBS uniquely foregrounds Vučić’s earlier denunciation of the student movement as foreign-led. BBC appears in three variants, ranging from a close contest to outright loss and post-election celebrations.
