Vucic concedes defeat in Serbia's parliamentary election
Aleksandar Vucic, who denounced the oppositional student movement as a foreign-led attempt to unseat him, led with virtually absolute power for 14 years.

What the coverage shows
The coverage converges on Vučić’s defeat or concession and on the student-led protest movement as the main challenger. BBC News and AP frame it as a tight or high-stakes contest before the result, while France 24 foregrounds a claimed historic result and record turnout. The Independent alone uses “historic win” language in its headline, and CBS is the only outlet here whose extract mentions Vučić’s earlier denunciation of the movement as foreign-led.
