Exit Polls Show Pro-Europe Tadic as Winner of Serbian Elections

According to exit polls and his own Democratic Party, Serbia's incumbent pro-European President Boris Tadic wins re-election in the run-off with ultra-nationalist opposition leader Tomislav Nikolic. Pro-Western Boris Tadic headed for a second term as Serbia's president on Sunday, preliminary results showed, sparking celebrations on the streets of Belgrade despite fears over Kosovo's looming independence. Tadic’s ultra-nationalist opponent Tomislav Nikolic conceded defeat at a rally of his Radical Party in the Serbian capital. "I am inclined to inform you that Boris Tadic has most probably won these presidential elections with the advantage of around two percentage points," Nikolic told supporters. "If this (result) is proven, I congratulate him on this victory," added the former ally of late autocratic Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic.
