Politics & Governance Why is Serbian Student Movement perceived as pro EU and Vucic as pro Russian and Chinese?

55 Upvotes

Not that it's just silly, but it's also just wrong. Factually wrong!

While Vucic wasn't openly pro EU, at least not in words, cause that wouldn't be popular amongst his voters, the EU was definitely pro Vucic at minimum. Hence why the lowest recorded pro EU sentiment in Serbia. They openly supported him all this time, and it's clear that the EU (well, Ursula von der Leyen and Marta Kos at least) weren't happy with election results. Vucic and EU obviously had some kind of an agreement that was beneficial for both of them.

The only argument I can see was the Student movement members cycling to Brussels, but that had less to do with the EU itself and more with rising the emmigration in Germany, Austria and Belgium to vote in support of Student Movement. The other reason was percisely because of EU's support for Vucic... and of course the students weren't even received in Brussels.

I mean, on the other hand, there are some Student List candidates that are pro EU integration, but there are also some who are Eurosceptics at minimum.

On the other hand, relations with Russia are at a historic low, due to Vucic's clear attempts to steal NIS (one of the strongest and most profitable companies in Serbia) from Gasprom. That resulted in the Russian Federation's support for Vucic being moderate at best. And again, there are some candidates on the Student List that are pro Russian at minimum.

One thing said, Vucic can be considered pro Chinese, but as is usual in most European countries, it begins and ends with money.... especially Vucic regime that was involved in God knows what shady deals with the Chinese. Student list promised that the shady deals with all sides (including Chinese) will be looked into and ended if needed, but the econimic cooperation with China and keeping Chinese investments in Serbia will remain of highest priority.

Politics & Governance Do you think the Student victory over Vučić will help Serbia along its path to join the EU in the long run?

9 Upvotes

Just by looking at the Student list, they do seem to be more moderate than Vučić's party, but everywhere I see on local discussion boards, they seem to really hate the idea of making any concrete foreign policy stance. A lot of the supporters of Student list are also quite Eurosceptic from what I've seen and basically have the same foreign policy stance as Vučić - friendly with EU, Russia, and everyone else at the same time.

So, does this election change anything in that regard?

  2. SNS - 104

Amount of people that voted (currently) - 4,212,509 (97.0% of the polls recorded)

Required seats for a majority: 126

(For comparison, Vucic following the 2023 Elections only won 110 seats but formed a coalition government)

Vucic conceded defeat
(I am editing this from time to time)

Edit 2: I made a slight mistake and accidentally showed SNS having a majority, when at the time of me editing (prior to now) they had lost their majority

Edit 3 (06:44 AM 26 Oct 2026): You do not know how much pain and misery I alongside many others have gone through after 14 years of his dictatorship

Anyone else find this gets old? Like sort of goes with the whole Russian / Eastern European thing. We come from a small village; our men are drunks and we have third world stuff going on.

I spent a month in Zagreb a year ago and it was a positively thriving intellectual central European capital. More bookstores per capita than the more “civilized” west, libraries, cafe culture etc.

It just sort of irks me.
