"Serbian Snap Election: Ruling Party Poised for Another Term Amid Media Capture Concerns"

Serbians voted in a snap election, with President Aleksandar Vucic and his Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) seeking another term. The election comes after two mass shootings and protests that challenged the ruling party's popularity. Opposition parties and rights watchdogs accuse Vucic and the SNS of voter bribery, media suppression, violence against opponents, corruption, and ties to organized crime. The SNS is leading in the polls, followed by the Serbia Against Violence alliance. Serbia must address issues such as normalizing relations with Kosovo, combating corruption, and aligning its foreign policies with the EU.
