According to Serbian Economist, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced from the headquarters of the Serbian Progressive Party in New Belgrade that the ruling party’s lists, featuring his name, had won in all 10 municipalities where local elections were held on March 29. “It’s 10 to 0,” he said following the vote count.
Elections were held in Bora, Smederevska Palanka, Bajina Bašta, Kula, Lučani, Aranđelovac, Kladovo, Knjaževac, Majdanpec, and Sevojno. Even before Election Day, Vučić had said he would be satisfied only with a victory in all 10 municipalities, although at the time he estimated the possible outcome as 7-3 or 6-4.
After the elections, government officials also publicly confirmed this result. In particular, SNS Chairman Miloš Vučević called the party’s victory in all ten municipalities “very significant” and repeated the 10:0 score.
At the same time, opposition and independent commentators interpret the results more cautiously. N1, citing political analyst Boban Stojanović, notes that despite the SNS’s formal victory in all ten municipalities, in nine of them the party, according to his assessment, saw a decline in support compared to previous election cycles.
