It is noted that Vučić announced the preliminary election results at the election headquarters of the “Aleksandar Vučić – United Serbia” list. He emphasized that the final voting results have not yet been made public, but the available data indicate the defeat of his political force.

“We don’t have final results yet. Based on the stratified sample, it is obvious that we lost these elections. The “List of Student Blockers” won, they will have 135 to 140 seats, we have about 105,” Vucic said.

The President also noted that representatives of national minority parties could enter parliament. According to him, the “Hungarians of Vojvodina” could receive 3 mandates, and representatives of the Albanian community – 1 mandate. He also suggested that the Social Democratic Party could enter.

It is worth recalling that in the 2023 parliamentary elections in Serbia, the Serbian Progressive Party won 46.75% of the vote and received 129 seats in parliament.

We should add that the final results of the current elections have yet to be announced.

As is known, at the end of September, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić resigned to participate in early parliamentary elections and run for the post of prime minister . Elections in Serbia are scheduled for October 25, and until then, the duties of the president will be performed by the Speaker of the National Assembly, Ana Brnabić.

Recall that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić dissolved the country’s parliament on Wednesday, September 9, paving the way for early elections.

It was previously reported that large-scale protests and clashes between demonstrators and police took place in the Serbian capital, Belgrade. The participants of the action demanded the resignation of President Aleksandar Vucic and the holding of early parliamentary elections.
