Vuk Jeremic

Bookmakers in Serbia say the odds are heavily in favour of the Prime Minister and head of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party, Aleksandar Vucic, winning the presidential election.

The chances of him winning outright in the first round are slightly lower than his chances of winning in the second round, however, they said.

The Electoral Commission (RIK) received 12 candidatures, and to date confirmed seven.

The Republic Electoral Commission (RIK) has confirmed ("declared") Vuk Jeremic as one of the candidates in the upcoming presidential election in Serbia.

Jeremic was nominated by the Moramo Bolje ("we must do better") group of citizens, that collected 14,360 legally valid signatures of voters who supported Jerermic's candidature.
