Student‑Led Serbian MPs Call for Police, Intelligence and Judiciary Resignations

After a landslide victory, Serbia’s newly elected Student List MPs have demanded the immediate dismissal of senior police officers, the head of the BIA security agency and the anti‑terror unit, citing unlawful conduct. The movement, composed of academics, artists, athletes and medical professionals, also seeks to replace the head of state broadcaster RTS and the chief of Telekom Srbija. They pledge to halt corruption, return stolen assets to the state budget and invest directly in education and the economy. While the transition of power will take weeks, the MPs warn that evidence of wrongdoing could be destroyed during that period. The move follows the ousting of former President Aleksandar Vučić’s party and the dismantling of his loyalist tent camp outside Parliament. The Student List’s agenda includes a lustration law to bar former Vučić officials who violated citizens’ rights from public office, and a rapid overhaul of media freedom and institutional governance. The new administration faces the challenge of balancing EU integration pressures with Russian ties, as the EU has pledged support for reforms but the student platform’s emphasis on EU cooperation remains limited.
