• What is at stake in Serbia’s election?

Since the early morning, we have seen Serbian voters turning out to vote in unprecedented numbers, with projected turnout already at 56.4% by 4pm, just over 14 percentage points higher than at this point in 2023.

In fact, it’s already just marginally below the 2023 turnout with another four hours to go, so we are likely to crash some records, way above levels seen in previous years.
