Serbian Radical Party

BELGRADE - The Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) on Monday announced to the court's Appeal Chamber that it will appeal a verdict acquitting Vojislav Seselj of all charges of war crimes committed in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina during the wars there and expulsions of Croats from Serbia's Vojvodina province.

The right-wing Democratic Party of Serbia-Dveri coalition passed the five per cent threshold and got into parliament after re-run votes on Wednesday at 15 polling stations.

The votes were held again after the Republic Electoral Commission, RIK, decided to cancel the results from the 15 polling stations at the April 24 parliamentary elections due to complaints of irregularities.

The prosecution at the UN-backed court in The Hague has appealed for a guilty verdict or a retrial of Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj, who was recently acquitted of war crimes.

The right-wing Dveri-DSS coalition has accused Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic and his ruling Serbian Progressive Party, SNS, of pressuring the Election Commission, RIK, to declare that the coalition did not meet the threshold needed to enter parliament - and has warned of street protests.

BELGRADE - The Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) won 67.09 percent of the votes in the Serbian parliamentary elections in Kosovo-Metohija, the party announced based on 100 percent of ballots processed.

SNS official Marko Djuric, who also heads the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija, told reporters in Belgrade that it is a historic result for the SNS in Kosovo-Metohija.

Aleksandar Vucic's Serbian Progressive Party, SNS, has taken took control of the traditional bastion of the opposition Democratic Party, the northern Province of Vojvodina, as well as most municipalities and major cities.

Bojan Klacar, director of the Center for Free Elections and Democracy, CESID, told BIRN that the SNS was only a "relative winner" in last Sunday's elections.

BELGRADE - The coalition led by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) won 48.25 percent of the votes in Sunday's early parliamentary elections, show the latest preliminary results released by the Republic Electoral Commission (RIK) based on 97.46 percent of polling stations processed.

The victory of the governing Serbian Progressive Party, SNS, and Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic in Sunday's elections in Serbia - which was widely expected - has created little stir in the region.

According to poll monitors from the Centre for Free Elections and Democracy, CESID, the Serbian Progressive Party won 51 per cent of votes at the parliamentary elections on Sunday.

Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic wrote to the UN Secretary-General, warning that the Hague war crimes court’s acquittal of Serbian Radical Party leader Vojislav Seselj was a “dangerous precedent”.
