The ruling party of Serbia won the parliamentary elections

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, quoted by Germany’s “NTV”, on Based on the early results of the recent parliamentary elections, the party of Aleksandar Vučić, the president of this country, clearly won the early parliamentary elections in Serbia. After 90% of the votes were counted, the Belgrade Sesid and Ipsos institutes announced the Progressive Party of Serbia (SNS) as the strongest party and the winner of this election with 46% of the votes. This result gives Aleksandar Vučić an absolute majority in the People’s Assembly (Skupstina) with 128 seats out of 250 seats.

Anna Brnabic, the Prime Minister of this country, announced the preliminary results and said: the coalition called “Serbia against According to these preliminary results, “Violence” (SPN) also won 23% of the votes, and the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), the coalition partner of the SNS party, also won 6.7% of the votes. Serbia’s parliament needs a total of 126 seats to win a majority.

The Progressive Party of Serbia has been in power since 2012.

Vucic won the election just 17 months after held the last parliamentary elections. Although the president himself decided almost all affairs in the country, he had been under pressure recently. After twin shootings in May that left 18 dead, a spontaneous protest movement had formed calling for an end to his rule. The Albanians are still under pressure. Serbia insists on its claims on the territory of Kosovo, which has been independent since 2008. The West wants to resolve the conflict and presented a plan earlier this year that would have Serbia de facto recognize Kosovo. During these mediations, Vucic held talks with Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Korti, but refused to sign any agreement.

Sunday’s election result should help Vucic for now, especially since SNS experienced a two percent increase compared to the last election. In the night after the election, he spoke to his supporters about a clear, explicit and convincing victory. He added: “Now is the time to move our country forward and Serbia to move forward.” Serbs and their allies won 120 out of 250 seats in the parliament, and Aleksandar Vucic was re-elected for a second term as the president of Serbia.

Serbian opposition called for new legislative elections after the recent violence and shootings; Aleksandar Vucic also welcomed it and called for these elections at the beginning of November in the hope of strengthening the position of the government and tightening controls on the country.
