Serbia's student-backed Student List won a decisive victory over the party of former president Aleksandar Vucic in parliamentary elections on October 25. Vucic conceded defeat and predicted the new government would impose sanctions on Russia by March or April. The winners' pre-election platform pledged to maintain Serbia's opposition to sanctions against Moscow, and the Kremlin urged the incoming leaders to keep ties with Russia.
