BELGRADE, June 22 (NNN-AGENCIES) – Coalition around the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), led by Serbian President, Aleksandar Vucic, achieved a landslide victory at the parliamentary elections on Sunday, according to the Republic Electoral Commission (RIK).
Preliminary results showed, the coalition around the SNS won 63.35 percent of votes, while smaller ruling coalition partner, Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), led by Foreign Minister, Ivica Dacic, collected 10.62 percent.
“I have been in politics for a long time, but I have never experienced a moment like this. We have gained the huge trust of the people, the greatest ever in Serbia, in conditions when few believed in it,” Vucic said, at his party’s headquarters.
He pointed out that Serbia will continue even harder, to pursue its aspiration to become a member of the European Union, “but also maintain its friendship with traditional allies and countries that stepped in to help, amidst the COVID-19 crisis.”
After preliminary results were published, Dacic said, his party is ready to continue cooperating with the SNS to realise Serbia’s national interests.
He stressed that the ruling SNS-SPS coalition that has been in power since 2012 won around 75 percent of votes today, which confirmed their achievements in the previous period.
