Belgrade: Serbian vote in a parliamentary election on Sunday seen by many as key in deciding the pace of the country's European Union (EU) integration in the coming years.
Some 6.7 million people are registered to vote, including the defiant Serb minority in Kosovo.
The nationalist Radical Party said that they want to put Serbia's EU membership on hold and look elsewhere for investment and trade.
The Democrats said that joining the EU is the only way to attract much-needed investment, create jobs and raise living standards.
