Preliminary Results: Vucic’s SNS Gets 63% in Serbia Elections

TIRANA – President and leader of Serbian Progressive Party, Aleksandar Vucic, said that his party gained “huge trust from citizens, the highest ever in Serbia”.
“I have been in politics for a long time, but I have never experienced a moment like this, we have gained huge trust from the people, the greatest ever in Serbia, in conditions when few people believed in it,” Vucic said on Sunday evening at the SNS headquarters, after elections results came in.
“Tonight, we received more than 2,000,000 votes of the little less than 3,300,000 people who went to the polls,” Vucic added.
Much of the Serbian opposition left parliament in January of 2019 and will be boycotting the polls as well, including the biggest opposition group, the Alliance for Serbia. The opposition made this decision after arguing that the elections will be neither free nor fair.
According to parliamentary elections, which have yet to be finalised, SNS won some 63 per cent of votes which will give them 187 out of 250 mandates in Parliament.
According to the CESID’s preliminary results following today’s parliamentary elections in Serbia, the Serbian Progressive Party, SNS, won 187 seats out of 250 in parliament, the Serbian Socialist Party-United Serbia, SPS-JS, 32, and Aleksandar Sapic, SPAS, 11 seats.
There are also four minority parties – the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians, SVM, taking nine seats, the Albanian Democratic Alternative, four, Muamer Zukrolic, three, and the Party of Democratic Action of Sandzak, SDA Sandzak, two seats.
Former Kosovo PM Albin Kurti said that “allowing Serbian elections in Kosovo while local elections in two municipalities are cancelled for months due to covid19 is unacceptable”./argumentum.al
