Serbia holds parliamentary elections on Sunday, and expectations of change are running high in the country. Aleksandar Vučić, a pro-Kremlin politician who has been in power for 12 years, will try to hold on to control. The opposition movement known as the "students", which emerged two years ago after a tragedy in the city of Novi Sad, will try to prevent that.

The outcome will determine whether Serbia keeps its current Kremlin-friendly political course or whether opposition forces come to power.

Concerns over the conduct of the vote

There are concerns, however, that the ruling party will try to do everything it can to secure its own victory.
