The People's Serbia coalition, which consisted of the People's Movement of Serbia, the New Face of Serbia party and the Ecological Uprising movement, withdrew its already verified ticket and said it supports the Student Ticket, while a number of opposition parties announced even earlier that they will not be running in the elections and that they support the Student Ticket and the creation of a referendum atmosphere.
Domestic organizations like the Center for Research, Transparency and Accountability (CRTA) and the Center for Free Elections and Democracy (CeSID) will have observers at polling stations, while the international observation mission will comprise observers of the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR), the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), the Parliamentary Assembly of the OSCE, as well as of the European Parliament.
Election silence will last until polling stations close at 8 p.m. on Oct. 25.
