Serbia’s long-standing leader Aleksandar Vučić has admitted defeat to the student-led protest movement in snap parliamentary elections.
“We still do not have final results… it is clear that we have lost these elections,” the right-wing populist leader said as he conceded late on Sunday.
Preliminary figures from Serbia’s election commission indicated a record high turnout, which commentators had suggested would favour the student movement. Celebrations erupted after Vučić conceded.
