BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

The Republican Election Commission in Serbia said on Sunday that the polling stations for the general elections have been closed at 20:00 (18:00 GMT).

Some 6.5 million Serbs are choosing the country's president, a new parliament, and municipal authorities in dozens of cities, including the capital of Belgrade. Long lines formed in front of polling stations in Serbia and 77 overseas stations, while over 100,000 ethnic Serbs who live in breakaway Kosovo couldn't cast their ballots due to the Kosovo authorities banning them from voting within the territory.

19 political blocs and coalitions were registered by the Republican Election Commission; the blocs are competing for 250 seats in the Serbian National Assembly. They need to pass a 3% threshold to enter the new convocation of the parliament. Eight presidential candidates are running for the president's seat, including incumbent Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.

Surveys conducted ahead of the vote predicted that President Aleksandar Vucic will win another five-year term.

Vucic spoke after the vote in Belgrade, saying he expected his country to continue on the path of “stability, tranquility and peace.”

“I believe in a significant and convincing victory and I believe everyone will get what they deserve, according to how much they worked and, understandably, in accordance with the expectations of the citizens for the future,” he said.

The voting turnout reached 50.82% by 18:00 (16:00 GMT), according to today's report by the Serbian Statistical Office.

The Collective Security Treaty Organization Parliamentary Assembly said that no significant violations have been recorded. Russian observers also did not report any violations.
