Wahlen in Serbien: Serbiens Präsident Vucic räumt Wahlniederlage ein
Die meisten Wähler fassten die Abstimmung als Referendum über die Führung durch Langzeitherrscher Vucic auf. Nun muss Vucic seine Niederlage eingestehen. Ein Regierungswechsel zeichnet sich ab.
Belgrade - Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic acknowledged defeat after Sunday's early parliamentary election. Although final results were not yet available, Vucic said based on calculations his party had lost the election. The student-led opposition list was projected to win between 135 and 140 seats, while Vucic's party would gain 105.
This would be the absolute majority needed to form a government alone. Other parties failed to secure a seat in the legislature. Shortly after Vucic's address, the research group CRTA released the outcome of their projection. According to them, the student list had secured 51.5 percent of the votes, while Vucic's SNS party had 40.4 percent.
No other party managed to cross the threshold for entering parliament in Serbia, which requires either three percent or one percent for minority ethnic parties.
