The election results in Serbia are good news for the security and stability of the entire Western Balkans, as Vucic was the chief architect of virtually all major disputes in the region.
That said, the Student List is a heterodox coalition. We should not expect a 180 degree transformation in Belgrade's positions on Kosovo, Bosnia, or Montenegro. The (ultra)nationalist right will remain a major factor in the country's politics. And presidential elections are scheduled for December. As such, a (significant) degree of wariness in regional capitals is also not without merit.
Still, this is an opening, and politics - especially in the Balkans - is a game of inches. Decades of animosity aside, neighboring states should give the new government the opportunity to prove and constitute itself. Accept now that the official rhetoric will be over the map ideologically, especially at first. Real progress may need to be quiet, and unglamorous.
The Serbian people have made a major decision. The entire region would benefit from a democratic, moderate Serbia. This may - or not - be its genesis. Let us at least give the citizens of Serbia a chance to finish what they have started tonight.
Kosovo PM Kurti congratulates Albanians in the Presheva Valley for the significant gains in the election and highlights the defeats of Vucic and Dacic:
An extraordinary achievement!
The political unity of Albanians is turning into a stronger parliamentary representation.
Update:
Dacis is out of Parliament as Milosevic's party SPS doesn't clear the 3% threshold and wins 0 seats in Serbia's Parliament.
Magyar after his victory (Vucic had endorsed Orban):
I know exactly what's going on in Serbia. I know the ties between Orban and Vucic, between Orban and Fico in Slovakia & I know who is the godfather behind all these ties.

Now he is taking a victory lap after Vucic's defeat.
In Serbia, @avucic has conceded defeat. The Students’ List has won an absolute majority in the elections. Celebrations have begun in the streets across Serbia.
Sound familiar?
The Albanian Coalition in the Presheva Valley has a strong chance of securing a second seat in Serbia's parliament, the leader of the joint list Shaip Kamberi announced.
"Despite all the discrimination and the passivization of addresses, we mobilized our electorate," he stated.
Tense situation in Serbia.
Shop owners near the Election Commission and Presidency board up windows.
Police have blocked traffic and are restricting pedestrian access.
European Democrats have warned that people linked to Vucic's party may provoke confrontations at around 9 PM.
