After 14 years in power, president Aleksandar Vučić is facing a serious challenge. The Student list, built out of the 2024 student protests, has become a frontrunner in the polls, inventing new ways of doing politics as they go.

Will Serbian students finally topple 14 years of autocratization? And what will it look like if they do?

Our expert panel will brief all interested on the developments in Serbian politics, whose repercussions may have consequences for the future of democracy movements worldwide.

All are welcome!
