Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
BELGRADE, Serbia, June 11 (UPI) -- Serbs go the polls Sunday in presidential elections that could mark a sharp reversal for reformist forces.
The leading candidate, Tomislav Nikolic, is a hard line nationalist from the Serbian Radical Party whose leader, Vojislav Seselj, is facing war crimes charges in the Netherlands. Though Nikolic is tipped by pollsters to come first Sunday he is unlikely to break the 50 percent threshold required to win outright.
Second in the polls is Boris Tadic the candidate of the Democratic Party. Tadic became the leader of the Democratic Party after the assassination of Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic.
Tadic is favored by many commentators to win in the second round of voting when reformists are likely to rally round whichever candidate opposes Nikolic.
Nikolic's best hope of winning the presidency is a low turnout, a distinct possibility in a country which has been plagued by voter apathy in recent years.
