Pedestrians walk in front of a campaign banner showing Aleksandar Vucic, candidate for prime minister for the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), ahead of an election campaign rally four days prior to the country's snap elections in Nis, Serbia, on October 21, 2026. The vote follows nearly two years of anti-corruption protests sparked by the November 2024 collapse of a railway station canopy in Novi Sad that killed 16 people and grew into a student-led movement demanding early elections.
