SNS party

The ruling SNS party at this time has the support of half of all decided voters, Ipsos Strategic Director of Research Marko Uljarevic has said.

This amounts to about 28 percent of the overall population, according to the same source.

SNS party leader and PM Aleksandar Vucic said on Tuesday that April 24 could be the date for early parliamentary, as well as provincial and local elections.

He told reporters in Belgrade, after attending the launch of construction works to build a bridge on the Sava River, that April 24 was "not an unrealistic" date to hold elections.

The ruling coalition in Serbia had no valid political reason to go to early elections at this time - at least at first glance, writes Deutsche Welle.

Serbia's Prime Minister and SNS party leader Aleksandar Vucic says he would not like early parliamentary elections to take place.

But that depends on "the atmosphere in the society," he added late on Tuesday, after a meeting between a delegation of his party and their coalition partners, SPS-JS-PUPS.

The ruling SNS party announced on Monday that its officials will on Tuesday afternoon meet with their coalition partners from the SPS.

The Progressives (SNS) are led by Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic, while his deputy in the cabinet and Serbia's foreign minister, Ivica Dacic, is the leader of the Socialists (SPS).

In periods of surges in popularity, Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic has the support of up to half a million citizens more than his SNS party.

This is according to an opinion poll published by Ipsos Strategic Marketing on Sunday.

Deputy Prime Minister and high-ranking SNS party official Zorana Mihajlovic says SPS party officials have been "saying many lies" in the past days and months.

The Progressives (SNS), led by Aleksandar Vucic, and the Socialists (SPS), led by Ivica Dacic, are coalition partners in the current Serbian government.

Aleksandar Vucic said on Monday he "did not understand" why SPS Vice President Branko Ruzic, in addition to him, "also apologized to SPS President Ivica Dacic."

A campaign aimed at Kosovo gaining "international capacity" in several directions is currently under way, Milovan Drecun has said.

Speaking for the state broadcaster RTS, the chair of the Parliamentary Committee on Kosovo and Metohija from the ranks of the ruling SNS party said Belgrade was "facing a planned campaign."

The SNS party has decided that provincial and local elections will be held in Serbia on January 24, 2016, the Belgrade-based daily Blic writes.

If SNS leader and PM Aleksandar Vucic decides that early parliamentary elections should be held as well, they will be scheduled for the same day, according to the paper.
