Of about 2,990,000 citizens who went to the polls, 66.7 voted for
moderate nationalist Vojislav Kostunica, while 31.3 percent gave
their vote to liberal economist Miroljub Labus.
"There is definitely no possibility for the turnout to be over 50
percent. In these elections, we definitely did not reach the goal,
we did not elect a president," said Zoran Lucic, a spokesman for the
Centre for Free Elections and Democracy.
"The election has failed, nobody was elected," analyst Srecko
Mihajlovic said at a press conference.
He blamed the political elite for the election failure.
