On October 27, 2026, the Serbian 'Student List' changed its position regarding arms exports to conflict zones, including Ukraine. According to Reuters, representatives of the political party that won the snap parliamentary elections did not provide a clear answer on the possibility of halting arms supplies.
Correction of Reuters Information
Initially, Reuters reported that the 'Student List' promised to completely halt arms exports. However, in the new version of the news, the agency noted that the party leaders did not clarify whether the new government plans to stop arms supplies from Serbia, particularly sales to Western intermediaries who transfer them to Ukraine.
Position on Sanctions and Energy Dependence
Additionally, representatives of the 'Student List' do not plan to join the European Union sanctions against Russia. They emphasized that Serbia's energy dependence on Russia is not a geopolitical alliance but rather a pressing economic dependency. This indicates the complex situation the country finds itself in within the context of international relations.
Election Results
In the snap parliamentary elections held on October 25, 2026, the 'Student List' secured 52.65% of the votes, while the 'United Serbia' party of former president Aleksandar Vučić received 39.22%. These results reflect a shift in the political landscape in Serbia and new challenges for the future government.
