Serbia election: How Gen Z brought down Vučić

Serbian students have just brought down the government - but who’s actually running the country now? The Student List is on course for a clear majority in Serbia’s parliament. Two years ago, the Gen Z-led movement didn’t even exist but it has now torn up more than a decade of political dominance. Aleksandar Vucic conceded defeat - ending his 14-year grip on power - before the final results have even been confirmed. None of the students actually stood as candidates in the election - and the movement doesn’t have a recognised leader. In this episode of the breakdown, we look at how a youth movement that started as a democratic experiment managed to achieve very real success, and why other countries and Gen Z protesters will be watching all of this very closely. We also speak to Bojana Zoric, a policy analyst who specialises in the Western Balkans region, and ask if the Student List’s leaderless structure, which helped it win power, could now actually hold the party back. #serbia #serbiaelection #genz ------- Presenter: Andrew Misra Producer: Suzannah Rogerson Series Producer: Joseph Keith Motion graphics: Mike Smith ------- 0:00 - Introduction 1:02 - Student List movement explained 2:32 - Interview with Bojana Zoric 4:46 - 'Leaderless' structure 8:29 - Priorities for new government 12:14 - Criticism and experience ------- Get more news at our site - https://www.channel4.com/news Subscribe to our Substack newsletter: https://channel4news.substack.com/sub...
