Serbs choose new president

Serbians were voting for a new president today, with a nationalist, a pro-Western moderate and a business mogul leading a race that could determine whether the Balkan republic strengthens its Western ties or opts for renewed isolation.

Less than four years after ousting autocratic leader Slobodan Milosevic, Serbia is at a crossroads with its 6.5 million electorate divided between those disenchanted with political and economic reforms and those hoping their trouble-prone republic eventually joins the European Union.
