A party led by an indicted war crimes suspect has won the most votes in Serbia's election, early results show

The Serbian Radical Party (SRS) is set to be the strongest single force, but three pro-democracy groups are likely to form a coalition to take power.
SRS leader Vojislav Seselj is awaiting trial at the UN tribunal in The Hague.
Another accused war criminal, former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, may win a seat after the vote, seen as a test for Serbia's young democracy.
Preliminary results showed the SRS to have won a little more than a quarter of the popular vote, but it is set to take about one-third of the parliamentary seats.
That would allow it to block reforms and changes to the constitution.
