This photograph taken on November 1, 2026 shows Srdjan Roncevic, dean of the Faculty of Sciences in the University of Novi Sad posing for a portrait in Novi Sad. As dean, he backed the students and their movement. When police fired tear gas and beat demonstrators, he let protesters shelter inside his faculty and kept the police from entering. "When I look back, I think less about politics than about people who showed courage and solidarity, often at great personal cost. What matters now is not just changing who is in power, but building institutions where no one is above the law." 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.
