While you were sleeping: Serbia’s longtime conservative politician Aleksandar Vučić conceded defeat last night in a parliamentary election that pitted himself and his right-wing Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) against the left-wing Student List in the Western Balkan nation.
“It is clear that we have lost the election,” the former president of Serbia and prime minister hopeful said in a televised statement, with the votes paving the way for the student-backed political group to seize a minimum 135 parliamentary seats, while the SNS party is set to win around 105. The vote count, however, is not yet final.
