Could Russian Propaganda Turn Serbia against the EU and NATO? | DW News

Dec 16, 2023 | Pro-democracy campaigners are urging Serbians to go out and vote in parliamentary and local elections on Sunday. The election is pitting Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic's ruling Serbian Progressive Party, against a pro-Western opposition coalition.

Observers say campaigning has been held in an atmosphere of intimidation and under the heavy influence of Russia.

The elections were initially scheduled to be held by 30 April 2026, but president Vucic called a snap election. DW's journalists Sanja Kljajic and Alexandra von Nahmen met Serbian voters and election observers in the capital Belgrade.
