Serbia's ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) appears headed for victory in repeat elections in Belgrade, as well as June 2 local elections in other cities. The elections in Belgrade were repeated because there was no clear winner in the December elections.

But the opposition has complained of irregularities in the June 2 local elections in Serbia, causing the political environment to continue to be tense in the country.

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, said last night that the electoral list gathered around the Serbian Progressive Party won 52 percent of the votes in Belgrade, as well as won in 15 of the 17 municipalities of Belgrade.

In a press conference last night from the SNS headquarters, Vucic said that the victories in Novi Sad and Nis were very convincing.

Declaring victory, Vucic said his party will have a majority in the 110-seat Belgrade assembly.

Based on 51 percent of the votes counted in Belgrade, Serbia's non-governmental organization CeSid predicted that the SNS, which is backed by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, is leading with 53 percent, while the center-right party Movement for Change of Savo Manojllovic, is the second with 17.2 percent.

"This is... an extraordinary victory," Vucic told a media conference, adding that his party will have a majority in the 110-seat Belgrade City Assembly, as well as in Novi Sad.

However, Manojllovic said his coalition will not recognize the election results.

"These are the most irregular elections ever," he said on the evening of June 2

Turnout was lower than in the December 2023 elections in Belgrade, as several opposition parties decided not to participate, claiming there were no conditions for fair and democratic elections.

The opposition coalitions Serbia against Violence and Hope accused the SNS-led coalition of stealing votes in the December 17 elections, where numerous irregularities were found by local and international observation missions.

Serbian authorities have repeatedly denied that there were any serious irregularities in the election.
