Electoral Commission allocates seats in new Assembly

The coalition gathered around the Serb Progressive Party (SNS) took 131 out of the assembly's 250 seats. They are followed by SPS-JS (29), the Serb Radical Party (SRS; 22), the Enough is Enough Movement (16), the Democratic Party (DS)-led coalition (16), Dveri-DSS (13) and LDP-LSV-SDS (13).

These lists crossed the five percent threshold and in that way won seats in the new assembly.

This rule does not apply to electoral lists representing ethnic minorities, five of which entered parliament under the so-called natural threshold principle. They are the SVM (ethnic Hungarians - 4 mandates), Muamer Zukorlic - Bosniak (Muslim) Democratic Community of Sanzak (2), the Green Party (ethnic Slovaks - 1) and the PDA (ethnic Albanians - 1).

According to the Serbian Constitution, the new legislative term of office starts with the confirmation of mandates of at least two thirds of deputies at the first session of the newly elected parliament, which must be held within 30 days of the announcement of the final results (May 5).
