This photograph taken on November 1, 2026 shows Goran Anackov, a professor and head of the Department of Biology and Ecology of Faculty of Sciences at the University of Novi Sad posing for a portrait in Novi Sad. Alongside the dean, Anackov let protesters shelter inside the faculty when police fired tear gas and beat demonstrators, and kept the police from entering. "I feel uncertain, because this is the second time in my life that I am living through a big change. But I am happy that great hope has been awakened in me -- hope painted in the most beautiful colours, the colours of youth, which have carried me all this time." 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.
