Serbian opposition parties have held a joint meeting to plot a common strategy just two days after Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic announced that elections will be held in spring.

The Prime Minister said national polls would be held longside local and provincial elections in the northern province of Vojvodina but did not specify a date.

The only possible election strategy that could offer any success to Serbia's liberal opposition parties is to create a coalition that could challenge Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic's ruling Progressive Party, according to analysts.

Speaking at a meeting the main board of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party on Sunday, its leader, Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, said he had decided to call early parliamentary and local elections.

"It is my decision that we are going to have elections, we are going to be victorious," Vucic said, speaking to some 500 members of his party.

According to ballots cast and counted at 31 per cent of polling stations in the country, the opposition centre-right coalition led by the Croatian Democratic Union, HDZ, is ahead of the governing centre-left coalition the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in Sunday's general election.

Who they will choose is hard to call after a closely fought campaign between the governing centre-left coalition and its centre-right opponents.

More than half of Turkish voters have voiced preference for the current political system in the country to be preserved, an Ipsos poll suggests.

The latest polls in Croatia suggest that a political newcomer, the Bridge of Independent Lists, MOST, could become the third political force in the country after the next election and so play a role in forming the next government.

More than half of all Turkish citizens prefer Turkey's current parliamentarian system instead of imposing a presidential system on the country, according to a survey conducted a day after the Nov. 1 snap elections by the Ipsos surveying company.
