0:10The camera pulls back to reveal crowds surrounding Slavija Square's illuminated fountain.
2:22People on a top-floor balcony wave toward the gathering below.
6:45A closer view shows Serbian flags and a protest banner bearing a red hand.
10:43The camera pans along a boulevard packed with people holding lights and waving banners.
15:25An emergency vehicle moves slowly through a lane opened in the crowd.
15:58Fireworks erupt above the square as amplified music continues.

From above, the crowd stretches beyond the illuminated fountain and down Belgrade's adjoining boulevards. Music plays over loudspeakers, red flares glow through smoke, and people on a top-floor balcony wave to the gathering below.

The footage on news.com.au shows celebrations after the Student List's victory in Sunday's Serbian election. The Reuters account accompanying the upload describes the student protest movement's unseating of longtime leader Aleksandar Vučić, followed by the harder task of turning an election victory into a government.

Here, though, the camera stays with the streets. There are no speeches or interviews explaining the result, just crowd noise, chanting, music and fireworks as the fountain cycles through different colors.

The upload drew more than 200,000 views in eight hours, an unusually fast start for the channel's longer videos.

Amid the celebration, the view catches a practical moment: a clear lane opens through the dense crowd so an emergency vehicle can move slowly across the square with its lights flashing.
