Serbians cast ballots in a triple election likely to keep in power a populist government in the Balkan country that has refused to impose sanctions on Russia
In a country that went through a series of wars in the 1990s and a NATO bombing in 1999, fears of a conflict spilling over have played into President Vucic's hands.
But opposition groups stand a chance to win the majority in Belgrade, analysts say. This would deal a serious blow to the populists' decade-old unchallenged rule in Serbia. Serbia has supported a UN resolution that condemned Russia's attacks on Ukraine, but Belgrade has not joined the sanctions against Moscow.
Vucic’s main opponent in the presidential election comes from a centrist-conservative coalition, United for Victory of Serbia, which comprises the main opposition parties.
