This photograph taken on November 1, 2026 shows Gordana Tomovic, professor at the Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade posing for a portrait in Novi Sad. Tomovic has supported the students since the blockades began and joined them at protests. "Today I finally feel, above all, liberated. And honoured that all of us -- students first, then professors, teachers, citizens' assemblies and people across Serbia -- recognised that only a peaceful, persistent and legitimate fight could bring this victory. Now we have the chance to make institutions work and move towards a normal, civilised society." Serbia's student anti-graft protest movement ended 14 years of right-wing nationalist rule, despite not having any clearly identifiable leaders. Final results from last month's vote showed the Student List 140 won seats in the 250-seat parliament, enough to govern alone. Two years of protests were sparked by the collapse of a concrete canopy at a railway station which killed 16 people in November 2024 in the northern city of Novi Sad.
