The story behind it

Serbia's student movement began after a deadly roof collapse at the main railway station in Novi Sad. Students held near-daily protests against what they described as the erosion of democratic values. In April of last year, dozens of students cycled from Serbia toward Strasbourg, France, to ask Europe for support.

The students' movement moved from the streets into the election. A Guardian editorial called the students' win "one of the most remarkable election outcomes in recent European history."

The background

BELGRADE, Serbia, Oct. 28 — Serbia's students won a national election on Sunday, ending the 14 years in power of the party led by Aleksandar Vučić. Over 50 percent of voters backed the students, and turnout was the highest in Serbia since 1992.

The movement grew out of protests that began in Novi Sad after a deadly roof collapse at the railway station. Authorities responded with police, tear gas and harsh rhetoric, and the protests spread across the country. The win sparked large celebrations in Serbian cities, and commentators in Europe have started to watch closely.
