2026 Serbian parliamentary elections

Overview

Leading up to the 2026 parliamentary elections, the European Union Delegation and international observers raised concerns regarding election integrity in Serbia. These concerns included reports of violence, the need for media equality, the safety of journalists, and the necessity of separating state and party interests. Observers also highlighted potential issues with voter list accuracy, specifically regarding duplicate entries and citizens living abroad.

Following the vote, significant discrepancies emerged between pre-election projections and the final results. The polling firm IPSOS faced criticism after its projections for the leading political lists deviated sharply from the actual election night results published by IPSOS and CeSID.
