After the victory: The foreign policy and governing challenges facing Serbia’s student movement

The movement that emerged from two years of student protests won the elections without a conventional party structure, without a clearly identifiable leader and, for much of the campaign, without revealing who would actually run the country if it won. That ambiguity was one of its greatest political strengths. Now, however, the same ambiguity may become a problem. One of the things that the region, Brussels, Moscow and China will be watching is how the new government positions itself. But there are already fairly clear signals from the leaders of the Students’ List. One of the clearest positions to emerge so far concerns Russia.
