BELGRADE: Campaigning wrapped up yesterday for snap elections in Serbia, with the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) tipped to capitalise on a wave of public support after successfully opening talks on EU membership.
Some 6.7 million voters will be called to the polls today to elect a new 250-seat parliament in early elections called by the SNS after Belgrade launched talks in January with Brussels to join the European Union. The centre-right SNS, led by Aleksander Vucic — a fierce ultra-nationalist turned pro-European — is riding high in the polls with 44 percent of voter support. AFP
