Serbians flocked to the polls on Sunday in elections that will likely see populist President Aleksandar Vucic extend his rule in the Balkan country, as he vows to provide stability amid war raging in Ukraine.
The country of around seven million will elect the president and members of the 250-seat parliament and cast votes in several municipal contests.
The polls officially closed at 8:00 pm (1800 GMT) local time, with unofficial results due later in the evening.
The latest surveys see Vucic's centre-right Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) maintaining its control over the parliament, while the president is poised to win a second term.
"Personally, I see stable progress and I voted in accordance with this opinion," Milovan Krstic, a 52-year-old government employee, told AFP after casting his vote in Belgrade.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has cast a long shadow over a contest that observers had earlier predicted would focus on environmental issues, corruption and rights.
Vucic has deftly used the return of war in Europe along with the coronavirus pandemic to his advantage, promising voters continued stability amid uncertain headwinds.
"We expect a huge victory. That's what we worked for in the past four or five years, and we believe we will continue with the great efforts and the development of this country," the president said after casting his ballot early Sunday.

“The should have brought Clinton up on war crimes for the thousands they slaughtered...”
Kind of difficult to make a credible claim of Putin being any worse than Clinton, given what Clinton did to Serbia, which was actually worse than Ukraine, as Putin is trying to avoid civilians, whereas our only effective targets from 30,000 (where all our missions were flow) were civilian targets.
That’s why I have I don’t think the people blasting Putin really have the best interest of the US (or the West) in mind, but instead have other agendas.
That’s where Hillary got her President idea.
