Reuters reports that the movement won 52.7% of the vote with almost 99% of ballots counted, against 39.2% for the Serbian Progressive Party-led alliance. The figures remain provisional and do not represent final certification of the election.

The victory follows almost two years of anti-corruption protests. European Union leaders have offered support for rule-of-law reforms. The makeup and policies of the next government remain to be established.

In their assessment published on Monday, international observers welcomed high turnout but criticised unequal campaign conditions, the ruling party’s entrenched advantages and pressure on voters.
