Katarina Scepanovic, a candidate on the Student List and a faculty member at the Philological High School in Belgrade, said that the student movement’s transition into the political arena is an unprecedented political and historical phenomenon, shifting youth engagement with politics, where young people had previously been sidelined.

“I believe there is no turning back to the old way of doing things,” Scepanovic said in an interview with the weekly magazine Nedeljnik.
She emphasized that “students have shaken up a stagnant political scene and restored people’s awareness that they themselves hold the ultimate sovereignty, and that they both should and can participate in political life in the truest sense of the word.”
Scepanovic said that no alliance is more natural than that between youth, students, and educators rising up against social injustice, sharing her hope that on October 26, the morning after the elections, she and all citizens of “our beautiful country” will wake up to a better Serbia.
