The election was seen as a referendum on Vučić’s political dominance and the political system that had been in place in Serbia for more than a decade.
Serbia has entered a new political era. The Student List has won the country’s parliamentary election, marking a dramatic breakthrough for a movement that emerged from months of student protests and rapidly transformed itself into the country’s most important political force.
In a brief statement to the nation, outgoing Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić conceded defeat and declared that the Student List has won the majority in parliament.
Vučić said that “based on the stratified sample, it is clear that we have lost the election,” adding that “the Student List has won and will have between 135 and 140 seats, while we will have around 105.
“No one else has entered parliament. The Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (SVM) has won three seats, the Albanians one, and I think the SDA has also secured a seat,” he added.
The Serbian Progressive Party received around 1.72 million votes, admitted Vučić. The Student List won 2.2 million, giving it a majority of 52% to 32.3 %.

Imagine fucking up so bad that you lose an election to a new movement that didn’t even have to nominate a candidate against you.
Well played, Serbia. I hope things will change for the better.

That surname is one of the reasons DB administrators commit suicide.
What time to be alive… Thanks to some guy who did not in the last, now who loses an election is expected to „accept“ it officially. Losers claiming they lost due to manipulation is the new normality. And in my perception mostly those are more right than left.
What? It’s tradition in most areas that the people who lose democratic elections make a concession speech for their supporters, and congratulate the winner. Even in the USA, that was the norm. It’s part of the peaceful transition of power that’s supposed to occur.
This isn’t new, nor has it suddenly occurred because some fascists refuse to accept democratic results. People who support democratic values, have done concession speeches for decades, and will continue doing them for decades to come.
I may have not made my point properly. As you also stated, it’s a tradition make the concession speak. Or better say, it was one. Now it became kinda necessary that the „loser“ accepts the result.
