Serbia’s incumbent president Boris Tadic and opposition leader Tomislav Nikolic will contest the second round of presidential elections.
Preliminary estimates based on votes counted in more than 1,000 of 8,000 polling stations by independent monitor CESID show Tadic and Nikolic leading with 26.7 percent and 25.5 percent respectively.
The run-off vote will be held on May 20.
Sunday’s vote was seen as a turning point for Serbia because for the first time in almost two decades the election focused on bread-and-butter economic issues rather than the wars that made the country an international pariah.
