Serbia sees highest voter turnout in decades as students challenge Vucic

Polling stations closed in Serbia on Sunday after a snap parliamentary election pitted President Aleksandar Vucic’s Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) against a student-backed movement born out of nationwide anticorruption protests. The State Election Commission reported turnout of 64.9 percent by 17:00 GMT, the highest since the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1992, though turnout alone did not indicate which side had gained support. Monitors reported pressure on voters or election workers at nearly a third of the 500 polling stations they observed, failures to protect ballot secrecy, and about 260 potential irregularities reported to CeSID. Riot police deployed near the election commission’s headquarters in Belgrade, where roads were closed and barricades erected.

Machado had disappeared from public life after a brief arrest in January 2025 and resurfaced in Norway that December, where she received the Nobel Peace Prize for challenging President Nicolas Maduro. Since Maduro’s removal in January 2026, Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has served as acting president but has not called the elections she promised.

Flights Resume at Riyadh Airport as Houthis Attack Saudi Arabia

King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh partially resumed operations on Sunday after a two-week closure following deadly Houthi attacks. Several domestic and international flights were scheduled, but Flightradar24 showed only a small number of departures, with most flights cancelled; explosions also shook Riyadh after residents received a warning. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree called the airport a military target and warned airlines, staff and travellers against using it, while claiming Saudi Arabia had carried out 56 strikes in Yemen in 24 hours. Visiting Riyadh, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis agreed to keep Greece’s Patriot air-defence system in Saudi Arabia.
