These will be the first Serbian presidential elections since the separation from Montenegro in 2006 and the approval of a new Constitution that same year.

Although the election is considered important, one-third of the 6.7 million voters, most of them young people and women, do not show much interest in voting at the 8,573 polling places, according to CESID pollster. Sixteen percent of voters are still undecided.

Elections coincide with the final stage of negotiations promoted by the United Nations on the future status of Kosovo Province.

The majority Albanian population of Kosovo are in favor of separation from Serbia, supported by the United States and several member nations of the European Union.
