With the results of the first assessments of strength ahead of the elections in Serbia, Vucic will be worried

According to an analytical scenario published by the Bureau for Social Research (BIRODI), if parliamentary elections were held in Serbia today, the Student Movement would likely win around 48.5% of the vote, while Aleksandar Vučić’s Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) would secure approximately 38.6%, and the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), Vučić’s coalition partner, would receive just 3.9%. This projection is based on data from the 2012 election results, public opinion surveys from various research institutions, and demographic changes recorded by the Republic Electoral Commission. The estimated voter turnout could reach around 4.13 million, considering potential increased participation among young people and those who previously abstained. However, this analysis is not a traditional poll or forecast but rather a hypothetical scenario of possible outcomes. Concerns have been raised regarding the accuracy of the voter registration list, which has a discrepancy of over 2% compared to the population census. The Student Movement was formed after months of anti-government protests sparked by the deaths of 16 people in a train station collapse in Novi Sad in November 2024, demanding more透明
