Serbia Elects Weekly

Vučić’s rally in Novi Sad sought to assert the ruling party’s strength in a city at the heart of resistance to his rule. Meanwhile, students are marching across Serbia towards their final campaign gathering at Belgrade’s Slavija Square on 22 October, as supporters take to the streets ahead of election day.

Serbia’s parliamentary election will feature 18 candidate lists, with the main contest expected between the SNS and the Student List. As the campaign enters its final weeks, observers warn of growing polarisation and unresolved concerns over the voter register, pressure on voters and access to voting abroad.

Serbia’s election campaign is increasingly a contest between Vučić’s ruling party and the Student List, whose activists report visiting 170,000 households in 20 days. With other parties struggling for visibility, violent incidents deepen concerns ahead of the unpredictable 25 October vote.
