Serbia's Ruling Populists Secure Overwhelming Election Win

Serbia's ruling populists, led by President Aleksandar Vucic, claimed a sweeping victory in the country's parliamentary election, with projections showing they won 47% of the vote and are expected to hold around 130 seats in the 250-member assembly. The main opposition group, Serbia Against Violence, won around 23% of the vote. The election was marred by reports of major irregularities, and the main contest was between the ruling populists and a centrist coalition aiming to undermine their rule.
