Voter rights had over 6.5 million citizens to choose among a total of 21 parties, coalitions or lists, which must pass the three per cent threshold for entry into parliament.
The elections were also held in Kosovo, under OSCE supervision.
Serbia's Assembly has 250 deputies. According to recent polls, a much larger battle will be under way for the introduction of other parties. Safe is the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), of Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic, who is in the coalition government with Vuciqi's party.
While many parties from among the opposition until now will have trouble crossing the 3% threshold. In the polls, Serbian Patriotic League (SPAS) -- former expert Aleksandar Shapiq -- and the Liberal Movement of Free Cities (PSG), which is headed by actor Sergey Trifunovic, reportedly.
21 different lists run in the election. Among those which can eventually be introduced into parliament are the radicals of war crimes convicts at The Hague Tribunal, Vojislav Seshel, as well as the parties of the Hungarian and Albanian minorities.
Vucinqi has been in power for eight years -- in the post of prime minister and president. During this time he has taken control of the overwhelming majority of media, where critical politicians have no approach.
Researchers have already discovered a range of ties, where the connection between organised crime, vote buying and party employment is seen.
All of this has been summed up in the Freedom House organisation's report, which Serbia for the first time does not list among democratic countries since the 2003 assassination of Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic.
