1. Serbia's Vučić Concedes as Student Movement Wins Snap Election
-- Long-serving leader Aleksandar Vučić conceded defeat after his Serbian Progressive Party lost Sunday's parliamentary election to the student-led Student List, which was projected to take about 141 of 250 seats on turnout not seen since the mid-2000s.
