Election results – Serbia (legislative)

Serbia held a snap parliamentary election on 11 May. On the basis of over 95 per cent of polling station results, the Serbian electoral commission reported the following results:

For a European Serbia – Boris Tadic: 38.75%, 102 seats
Serbian Radical Party (SRS): 29.22%, 77 seats
Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) – New Serbia (NS): 11.34%, 30 seats
Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) – Party of United Pensioners of Serbia (PUPS) – United Serbia (JS): 7.57%, 20 seats
The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP): 5.3%, 14 seats
Hungarian coalition: 1.86%, 4 seats
Bosniak List for European Sandzak – Sulejman Ugljanin: 0.92%, 2 seats
Coalition of Albanians from the Presevo Valley: 0.39%, 1 seat

The turnout was 61 per cent.

Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica’s party, the DSS, won just over 11 per cent. The largest force was President Boris Tadic’s coalition. However, Tadic’s party does not have a majority and it is unclear whether he will be able to build a majority coalition. The Socialists, who did surprisingly well, may determine the make up of the next government.
