Serbia’s Student Movement Prepares for First Parliamentary Session
Following the official declaration of election results, the student-led movement is preparing to assume control of the government. The transition has already prompted significant institutional changes, including the resignation of state media officials and calls for sweeping reforms across police and judicial sectors. The upcoming parliamentary session marks the formal start of the new administration's efforts to dismantle the influence of the previous regime.

Convening and outcome of the first parliamentary session
Official parliamentary session notice, agenda, or minutes are published.
The available evidence confirms that Serbia held a snap parliamentary election, that longtime leader Vučić conceded defeat, and that the student-led Student List/student movement won and is preparing to govern. It also confirms early transition developments: protesters entered a pro-Vučić TV station, the head of RTS resigned, students demanded police and judiciary resignations, and reports described detentions, resignations, and probes. However, the available facts do not confirm the exact date, agenda, or outcome of the first parliamentary session, the new prime minister, or whether the police and judiciary demands have been fulfilled.
The Yes quote is well above the fair-value range: Saičić’s standing comes from the Student List’s parliamentary victory and his role in that movement, while this market asks about a separate presidential contest. He would first need to become the movement’s or a major party’s presidential candidate and then win nationwide. He is one of several prominent figures, holds no party leadership, and describes his political role as temporary.
