Voters in Serbia are electing a new parliament, with the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) tipped to consolidate its hold on power.
The party, led by Aleksandar Vucic, has been leading in opinion polls thanks to its anti-corruption campaign and by starting EU membership talks. The Socialists, coalition partners for the SNS, are expected to finish in second place.
The opposition Democratic Party has been trailing third in the polls. Voting began at 06:00 GMT and is due to end at 19:00 GMT. About 6.7m voters are eligible to cast their ballots to choose a new 250-member parliament.
“We need a landslide victory to create new jobs, firmly pursue reforms and fight corruption with full forces,” Vucic said earlier this week.
