Student-led Party Wins Vojvodina Election, Vows to Pursue Train Station Collapse Accountability

In the recent early parliamentary election in Vojvodina, the University List, a student-driven party, emerged as the winner, defeating the long-standing ruling party of Alekszandar Vucsics. Party leader Ilija Srdanovic told 021.rs that the foremost objective is to complete investigations into the November 1 collapse of a train-station roof that killed sixteen people, and to identify any corrupt practices that led to the disaster.

He noted that legal and judicial specialists are working on proposals to fix shortcomings in the prosecutor’s office and police handling of the case. Srdanovic called for the depoliticisation of state bodies and for citizens to feel safe in public institutions. He expressed optimism about forming a governing coalition and advancing the student movement’s programme, describing the election win as the first step toward broader reforms.
