The populist Serbian Progressive party (SNS) has said it won the country's snap parliamentary election, which has been marred by reports of significant irregularities. Projections showed the SNS had taken 47% of the vote, according to the acting prime minister, Ana Brnabić. The main opposition group disputed those projections, claiming there was vote-rigging. Irregularities were reported by election monitors and independent media. The election monitor CRTA also reported cases of voters being given money to vote for the SNS and the presence of unauthorised people at polling stations
