Public Sticky notes
Serbian voters will go to the polls on Sunday (11 May) for what is being billed as decisive elections for the country's EU future.
The main parties in the running are the pro-Western centrists of president Boris Tadic's Democratic Party (DS); the nationalist Serbian Radical Party (SRS) currently led by eurosceptic Tomislav Nikolic, and outgoing prime minister Vojislav Kostunica's conservative Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS).

While this time the Democrats have excluded forming an alliance with the conservatives, a coalition between the conservatives and the radicals seems increasingly likely.
The EU's fears
This is just the political set-up the EU least favours. It has made no secret of its wish to see the pro-Western forces win Sunday's vote.
