Serbia's Vucic concedes election defeat to student-led movement
Original: Serbia's veteran ruler Vučić concedes election to student-led protest movement
Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia's right-wing populist leader of 12 years, has conceded defeat in an election widely framed as a referendum on the country's future, saying it is "clear" his party has lost to a student-led protest movement. The concession marks a striking political upset for a longtime dominant figure and hands momentum to the student activists who galvanised opposition to his rule.
Why now: The unexpected electoral defeat and concession of a long-entrenched leader to a student protest movement is a major political shift drawing wide attention.
