Early Serbian general election to be held May 11

Belgrade : Serbian President Boris Tadic has disbanded parliament and called an early general election for May 11, state news agency Tanjug said on Thursday, according to Reuters.

The vote, expected to be a close race between nationalists and pro-Western liberals, is seen as Serbia’s most important election since the fall of autocrat Slobodan Milosevic in 2000.

The government collapsed at the weekend, with nationalist Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica blaming deep disunity in his coalition over defending Kosovo versus pursuing a place in the
European Union.
