Republic President Aleksandar Vucic said that, in Belgrade, the coalition led by the Serbian Progressive Party received 52% of the vote and elects “62 to 63” members of the 110-member city council.
The President of the Republic, Aleksandar Vucic, announced that the combination bearing his name won a “convincing victory” in the cities where municipal elections were held.
Mr. Vucic said that in Belgrade, the coalition led by the Serbian Progressive Party received 52 percent of the vote and elects “62 to 63” members of the 110 city council.
In Serbia, mayors are elected by municipal councils.
President Vucic also reported that his party also won comfortably in Serbia’s second largest city, Novi Sad, receiving 53% of the vote.
The only city where the combination of the Serbian Progressive Party did not secure an absolute majority is the city of Nis, where an independent combination led by Dr. Dragan Milić emerges as the governing factor for the mayoral election.
The Serbian Progressive Party in the municipal elections held in Belgrade and 67 other cities went down together with the Socialist Party and eleven smaller parties.
The largest opposition parties abstained, arguing that there are no democratic conditions for them to be held.
