"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.

"Serbian Progressive Party's Election Win Threatens European Peace"

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) faces a snap election on Sunday following public outrage over mass shootings earlier this year. Vucic, seeking another term in power, has conducted a folksy campaign, visiting ordinary Serbs and engaging in various activities to shore up his party's popularity. Opposition parties accuse the SNS of pressuring and bribing voters, while also criticizing the party for stifling media freedoms, supporting violence against opponents, corruption, and ties with organized crime. Pre-election polls show the SNS as the frontrunners, but a significant change of government in Belgrade's municipal election is possible. Serbia aims to join the EU but must address issues such as normalizing relations with Kosovo, cracking down on corruption, and aligning its foreign policies with the EU.

Serbia's President Vucic Resigns as Ruling Party Leader Amid Unrest and Support

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic has resigned as the leader of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) at a party congress, stating that a new approach was needed to unite the country. However, he will remain head of state. The move comes after anti-government protests over two mass shootings that killed 18 people earlier this month. Vucic's resignation was accepted by the SNS, and defence minister Milos Vucevic was appointed to replace him. Opposition parties and rights watchdogs have long accused Vucic and the SNS of autocracy, stifling media freedoms, violence against political opponents, corruption and ties with organised crime.
