Aleksandar Vucic conceded defeat Sunday in Serbia's parliamentary election. The student-backed Students' List won, according to his own party's projections.
Why it matters: The vote ends SNS dominance that began in 2012. Vucic resigned the presidency last month to seek the prime minister's post.
Where they split: Outlets agree on the outcome but differ on whether to frame it as a local anti-corruption revolt or part of a global contest between authoritarian and pro-democracy forces.
Center coverage, 22 sources: The center sees a seismic shift that ends a strongman's long rule and tests Serbia's European path.
Left coverage, 12 sources: The left sees a pro-democracy movement defeating an increasingly authoritarian leader, part of a wider global fight against the authoritarian right.
Right coverage, 12 sources: The right sees a Putin-endorsed populist ousted by a protest movement driven by anger over corruption.
What’s next: Official results will follow Vucic's early projection. Celebrations spread across Belgrade and other cities Sunday night.
