Serbia's Student List movement fields candidates in Sunday's parliamentary elections

Summary

The Student List movement, which has held two years of constant protests in Serbia, is putting forward its own candidates in parliamentary elections on Sunday. The Guardian describes the vote as the most serious challenge yet to Aleksandar Vučić, who has held power for 12 years and whom it characterises as increasingly authoritarian. Student volunteers have been canvassing housing estates in Krnjača, a Belgrade suburb, using a mobile app that maps visited homes and the level of support in each.
