BELGRADE (Reuters) - Hardliner Tomislav Nikolic won the first round of Serbia's presidential vote on Sunday, setting up a second-round contest that will shape Serbian ties with the West after the expected loss of Kosovo.

Results from the state election commission showed Nikolic at 39.6 percent of the vote, while pro-Western President Boris Tadic took 35.5 percent. The decisive run-off is on Feb 3.
