Serbia's pro-Western President Boris Tadic declared victory Sunday in parliamentary elections, despite a challenge to his bloc from nationalist groups.
Ljuban Panic, a 23-year-old business studies student from Novi Sad, Serbia's second city, has walked 80 kilometers through the Fruska Gora mountains to attend the Democratic Party's final rally in Belgrade ahead of Sunday's crucial parliamentary elections.
European Union diplomats are highly relieved that Boris Tadic, the incumbent and leader of the Serbian Democratic Party has repeated his 2004 triumph over Tomislav Nikolic, once again overturning his rival's first round lead in the final vote.

Incumbent Boris Tadic narrowly won a second term as Serbia's president after a runoff Sunday with ultranationalist rival Tomislav Nikolic, according to preliminary figures from election monitors.
Russia warned the United Nations and European Union Tuesday against taking any unilateral steps with Kosovo, saying such action would create a "destructive precedent."
The runoff for the Serbian presidency on February 3 between Tomislav Nikolic and Boris Tadic is far more than just another battle for local power between two veteran politicians.
