Đilas

But the current focus is the fight against current authorities, Djilas, a former Belgrade mayor and a former Democratic Party (DS) leader, said on Monday.

Djilas in the past served as mayor of Belgrade and as DS leader.

Newspaper Blic writes this on Monday, adding that Lutovac, having received the votes of 659 delegates - i.e. over 50 percent - went to an establishment in Belgrade where the celebration lasted until the morning.

Djilas, a former leader of the Democrats (DS) who in the past also served as the mayor of Belgrade, told Beta only that he did not wish to make any comment.

Last weekend's Belgrade elections left 20 of the competitors without seats in the capital's municipal assembly, among them the former ruling Democratic Party and the Serbian Radical Party, demonstrating that there is a crisis within the political opposition, experts told BIRN.

The SRS did not manage to cross the five percent threshold and win seats in the Assembly - "but we are trying to stay on our feet," Seselj, whose party is in opposition at the state level, said on Wednesday.

According to Bozovic, he sent a letter to the members of the City Board in which he stated that "the defeat in the elections for the Belgrade Assembly obligates everyone to bear their own responsibility in the name of the future of the DS".

BELGRADE - Mayoral candidate Dragan Djilas, who heads the electoral list "Belgrade is Deciding, the People are Winning" in Sunday's elections for the City Assembly, cast his vote in the municipality of Vracar.

He appeared at a polling station in the Jovan Miodragovic Primary School shortly after 8 am.

BELGRADE - According to the first preliminary results released by the City Electoral Commission based on 18.6 pct of polling stations processed, or 12.97 pct of the electorate, the electoral list "Aleksandar Vucic - Because We Love Belgrade" won 46.26 pct of the votes in Sunday's local elections in Belgrade.

This is according to the latest poll published by daily Vecernje Novosti.

According to the same poll, of the 24 participants in the election, only three others will cross the five percent threshold.

BELGRADE - Mayoral candidate Dragan Djilas wants as many anti-government parties and coalitions as possible to make it past the electoral threshold in the March 4 Belgrade elections and together take the city "in another direction."
