—🗳🇷🇸/🇽🇰 What could a Student List victory mean for Kosovo?

➡️ Serbian analyst Dušan Janjić told KTV before Sunday’s election that he believes the Student List would “accept reality” in Kosovo and pursue dialogue. That is his assessment, not a pledge by the movement to recognize Kosovo’s independence.

➡️ In its own statement this week, the Student List described Kosovo as part of Serbia and called for a peaceful solution through dialogue.

—❗️🇷🇸 Serbia’s Student List pledges to stop arms exports to war zones

➡️ Leading candidates of the election-winning Student List have said a future government would end Serbian arms exports to active conflict zones, including sales through Western intermediaries that supply weapons to Ukraine.

➡️ The pledge has yet to become government policy: the Student List must first form a cabinet. Its impact on existing export contracts remains unclear.

—🏛 🇷🇸 SERBIA ELECTS | Government formation process

➡️ Upon the adoption of the final election results by the Republic Electoral Commission, the new convocation of the National Assembly needs to be constituted within 30 days.

➡️ The first session of the new Assembly is called by the previous Speaker (in this case, Ana Brnabić) and is presided over by the oldest MP.

➡️ Once the Assembly is constituted, a new government needs to be elected within 90 days, or a new election needs to take place.

➡️ As there are already decisions on repeating the vote at some polling stations due to irregularities, the final results of the election will not be declared until at least next week. The repeat of the vote will not influence the overall result.
