: Serbias presidential November 16 election failed to produce a winner. Only 40 percent of registered voters participated. 50 percent is required for the election to be valid. A bad sign: the Serbian Radical Party (SRS), an ultra-nationalist organization, did well among those who voted. The SRS was a Milosevic ally. The election will be rescheduled.
