On TV, pro-Russia Vucic concedes defeat, accuses EU & US ‘deep state’ of election meddling in Serbia

Serbia is facing a major political shift after Aleksandar Vucic conceded defeat in parliamentary elections, with the student-backed opposition movement projected to secure a majority. The result could end more than a decade of dominance by Vucic’s political camp, which has maintained close ties with Russia while balancing relations with the West. Vucic blamed what he described as interference by European countries and the “American deep state” for his defeat, though he provided no publicly established proof that foreign meddling determined the outcome. The victory follows nearly two years of student-led protests over alleged corruption and governance. Could Serbia now change its political direction?
