Vučić, a right-wing leader described as pro-Israel and head of the "Serbian Progressive Party," stated to local media, "According to the exit polls, there is no doubt that we have lost. The 'Student List' won and they will have at least 135 seats." The Serbian parliament has 250 seats, with 126 required for a majority.

The "Student List" does not have a clear leader, leaving uncertainty about who will succeed Vučić as prime minister.
