Student Lists bicycle campaign tour draws crowds in Novi Sad ahead of Serbias October 25 elections

The Student List’s bicycle campaign tour across Serbia reached Novi Sad on Tuesday evening, where cyclists and candidates were greeted by a crowd of local residents at the university campus. Supporters waved torches and white balloons emblazoned with the slogan “Students win,” chanting the movement’s signature phrase, “Pump it!”
Ilija Srdanovic, who tops the Student List, addressed the gathering, declaring, “Despite the rain and wind that pushed against us for most of the journey, we have finally arrived in the most beautiful city in the Balkans—Novi Sad.” He added, “Everything is clear—on October 25, the students win.” Speaking to N1, Srdanovic emphasized the campaign’s focus on institutional reform, stating, “We will build a country where justice is served and institutions actually work.”
Earlier in the day, the northern leg of the tour passed through Srbobran, where Srdanovic told supporters, “We are bringing justice to Serbia.” He framed the campaign as a response to a societal crisis, asserting, “The Constitution is the sole guarantee of our survival and ensures that laws apply equally to all.” Local residents welcomed the cyclists with traditional music and dance.
The southern route of the tour also advanced, with stops including Rumenka, where students and candidates were received with fireworks and applause. In Leskovac, crowds greeted the cyclists with torches and chants of support.
The tour is part of the Student List’s push ahead of Serbia’s snap parliamentary elections on October 25. Students in Kragujevac have invited citizens to gather on September 26 to welcome the cyclists as they complete their cross-country journey.
