With the Electoral Commission having published the final election results, the path is now clear for the first session of the new parliament and the formation of a new government. However, questions remain over who will lead the country and whether the diverse coalition that united against Vučić can maintain its cohesion now that its primary objective has been achieved. “Rule of law, the fight against corruption and the restoration of independent institutions remain the movement's top priorities,” says Nataša Vučković, Director, Center for Democracy Foundation. According to her, these principles formed the foundation of the student-led movement and helped drive a major shift in Serbia's political landscape. She argues that the new parliamentary majority must now focus on rebuilding public trust in state institutions and ensuring they can operate free from political pressure. Is Serbia on the verge of a genuine democratic breakthrough? Who will form the next government? And could the student-backed opposition's victory bring Belgrade closer to membership in the European Union? Join Benjamin Lee and his guest to find out more.
