Radicals take lead at Serbian polls

Serbian ultra-nationalist Radicals won most votes in Serbia’s parliamentary election today, but did not win enough to rule alone, an independent polling group said tonight.

The Radicals, who ruled Serbia with Slobodan Milosevic in the 1990s, gathered about 28% of the vote, followed by the pro-Western Democratic Party with 23% and the ruling centre-right Popular Coalition with 17%, said CESID, citing its own vote count at Serbian polling stations.
