Serbia is unlikely to cut off the flow of weapons reaching Ukraine through Western countries, even after the election victory of the Student List, whose leaders have proposed ending the practice. Sergei Fedorov, a leading research fellow at the Russian Academy of Sciences' Institute of Europe, told NEWS.ru that the country’s new political leadership is unlikely to abandon such shipments entirely.

According to Fedorov, the election winners are more determined to pursue European integration than their predecessors. Strengthening relations with Brussels is expected to take priority, making a complete suspension of arms deliveries to Western countries unlikely. Weapons supplied to those states subsequently reach Ukraine, and the analyst sees little reason to expect the new Serbian authorities to disrupt that arrangement.

The response from senior EU officials also reflects their expectations for Belgrade’s future policies, Fedorov argued. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa have already congratulated the Student List on its electoral success. In his view, both leaders hope the change in Serbia’s leadership will bring greater willingness to cooperate with the European Union.

The election result could also affect Serbia’s position toward Russia. Former Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic previously warned that Belgrade might introduce sanctions against Moscow as early as March or April 2027. He directly linked that possibility to the Student List’s victory.
