"Zlatko, buy me a juice": Vučić campaigns, eats and drinks on camera while students await election call

While awaiting the official announcement of election lists and the president's call for elections, a student association named "Studentska lista" (Student List) was formally registered on May 21st. This association, registered for a limited term until May 1, 2028, has been confirmed by the students themselves, who state they are "planning, organizing, and working." They assert that preparations for the elections are underway, with the student movement remaining active regardless of its visibility.

“

We are preparing as if these elections could be called at any moment.

Meanwhile, President Aleksandar Vučić is engaged in a highly visible campaign, interacting with citizens, tasting local foods, and directing media coverage. His public appearances, often accompanied by regime media, include moments of him directing his staff, such as asking for a juice and ordering microphones away. Opposition media, like Informer, are also active, focusing their campaign efforts on those not aligned with the regime.

Student activists are actively preparing for the elections through initiatives like "student zove" (student calls), contacting citizens for support, training election controllers, and mobilizing volunteers, including those in the diaspora. They report having 15,000 registered controllers and are working to increase this number. However, some journalists note growing confusion among voters opposed to the government regarding the student movement's composition and leadership.
