Follow BIRN’s reporters for the latest developments as Serbians cast ballots in parliamentary elections seen as a showdown between the governing Serbian Progressive Party and the opposition Student List, which grew out of the student-led protest movement.
- Early parliamentary elections are being held almost two years after the Novi Sad railway station disaster sparked mass anti-government protests led by students.
- The main rivals are United Serbia – Aleksandar Vucic, the ruling Serbian Progressive Party’s list, and the Student List of candidates chosen by the student movement.
- The elections are the biggest challenge yet to Aleksandar Vucic’s political dominance after 14 years of Progressive Party rule.
