Serbia’s opposition is doubling down on its campaign to challenge the legitimacy of last month’s elections, after full results gave the ruling party a large win in a parliamentary vote.

Data released by the election commission on Wednesday showed President Aleksandar Vučić’s Serbian Progressive party (SNS) won 46.75% of the vote, while a pro-European opposition coalition, Serbia Against Violence, got 23.66%.
