What the briefing reports
Serbia is holding an election where longtime leader Aleksandar Vucic is facing a challenge from a student-led movement. Vucic has been in power for over a decade and his party is currently polling at 47 percent of the vote, based on an Ipsos poll.
The student movement, known as The Student List, has a roster of 250 largely unfamiliar candidates and is running on an anticorruption and anti-authoritarian platform. The election is seen as a tight race, with polls showing Vucic's party in a close contest against the student movement.
The outcome of the election is uncertain, with the student movement posing a significant challenge to Vucic's dominance of Serbian politics. The election comes as Serbia, a Balkan country of some 6 million people, is considering its future direction under either continued leadership by Vucic or a potential change in government.
