> After two years of protests, Serbia is preparing for a Sunday parliamentary election in which the student-backed Student List is challenging Aleksandar Vucic’s long rule. Allegations of electoral irregularities and fears of a post-election crisis loom over the vote, while monitors have recorded violence and threats during the campaign.
