Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) have made a convincing victory in Kosovo and Metohija, where the balance of political power redesigned in relation to the 2012 elections.
Progressives have more than doubled the performance from two years ago, when it was in second place and now has triumphed with 51.3 percent of the votes. The Socialists (SPS) lost the throne, winning 17.5 (three per cent less), while the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) retained third place, but is in the deficit for around eight percent and is now at a level of 11.06.
Analyst Dusan Janjic interpret the new political timetable with the need of minorities in Kosovo to have a direct connection with Belgrade: “The drop in Dacic’s rating may be due to the signing of the Brussels Agreement, about which the Serbs were not the happiest. On the other side the growth in rating of the coalition around SNS can be understood as the belief in a “secret plan” of Vulin and Vucic, according to which Serbs will not be completely swept under Kosovo law.”
Tadic’s party New Democracy (NDS) won 6.47, and for Radicals (SRS) voted half voters from 2012, which is 4.67 percent. Dveri were given 3.48 percent and Democratic Party (DS) 1.67. Below one percent are United Regions (URS), Liberals (LDP), Patriotic Front, “That’s enough,” Ugljanin’s Democratic Action (SDA), Third Serbia, Russia’s party, Montenegrin Party – Josip Broz, Vojvodina Hungarians (SVM), list of national communities and the “coalition of citizens of all nations and nationalities”.
