Serbia’s ruling populists claim sweeping victory in election amid vote-rigging accusations

Serbia Against Violence opposition says it will not recognise results and will demand a rerun of the ballot

Serbia's ruling populist party comfortably won Sunday's parliamentary elections, according to an early official vote count, but political tensions rose over allegations of irregularities in a local election race in the capital, Belgrade.

An opposition group said it was robbed of victory in the Belgrade local election, would not recognise the results and would demand a rerun of the ballot.
