Serbians are voting in snap elections that seem likely to keep President Aleksander Vucic's party in power.
The coalition led by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) is forecast to retain its majority in parliament.
But it is expected to face tough battles in local elections against a coalition campaigning under the Serbia Against Violence banner.
It was formed by opposition parties following two mass shootings in May which sparked huge protests.
The attacks killed 19 people, including 10 at a school in Belgrade.

..."Analysts say the battle for the capital is important because of its strong symbolic significance and being the only place where the opposition has a good chance of victory.
On Sunday, Dragan Djilas, the former mayor of Belgrade and a leader of the Serbia Against Violence alliance, told Reuters that "changes in Serbia have begun."
He said: "People are determined to live... normally without crime and corruptions, without prices going wild."
