Leaders react to preliminary election results

"Either we will have a SRS-DS-SPS cabinet, and I suppose also some minority parties, or there will be no cabinet, and we'll be headed for new elections," Nikolić warned.

B92, it seems you left an S out of DSS so it should have read: "Either we will have a SRS-DSS-SPS cabinet, and I suppose also some minority parties, or there will be no cabinet"

Now that is really the only option to form a new government. As soon as the DS signed the SAA is effectively excluded itself out of the new government. No other cabinet is realistic.

Chances are we will have some proper celebrations soon. I just hope the DS supporters are not sore losers.

Well the results look very similar all round to last year - difference being this time will be the Government coalition which as it stands is highly likely to be a SRS-DSS-NS-SPS-PUPS-JS Serbian Integrity majority government.

Will see how much of a majority is possible but certainly looks like Tadic, Dinkic, Canak, Draskovic have counted their eggs too early (103 refelcts the share of votes gained last time but this group stood individually) - not sure what they were drinking champagne for anyone would have thought they had 126 seats. The way Tadic spoke about not stopping the peoples will - funny that given parliment is likely to leave DS,G17- and Co. in opposition for the next 4 years!

Can't wait to see the Full results when the real and Full picture will be much clearer since it really is quite close but given the way preliminary sample votes score by CeSID it looks like the much predicted new coalition with an Strong message to the EU that it is Serbia as whole!

One great outcome of these early elections - strengthening of Serbian institutions across the whole of its territory - maybe next time local elections are held others will have registered the understanding of the state they are in!

I hoppe that radicals are able to create a government and fight for Kosova very hard, that way they will lose EU and in the future also Vojvodina. Go radicals,, Albanians love you.

To all commentators,

DO YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE MANY DS-SERBS "PLAYING" ALBANIANS HERE !!!

Princip - please review your mathematics.

Assuming Cesid are correct, DS-G17-SPO got 33.8% last time. That is a lot less than the predicted 39% this time. and 83 seat is a lot less than 103.

And DSS down 5%! Another massive decrease for Kostunica. If this happens nest election he won't make the census. Not exactly a glowing report on his premiership.

The only possibility is DS-SPS amazingly. SRS-DSS-SPS will not have enough of a majority to actually function - especially as kostunica is prone to blackmail whenever given the opportunity.

Given SRS were expecting to beat ZES, to be so crushed by them must be upsetting.

Dear ZK UK,

We have indeed.

Our apologies to you, all our readers, and those mentioned in the article.

uli

you are obviously so ignorant of the fact that two thirds of Vojvodina's population is Serb.

Personally, I could not live on someone elses territory and claim it is mine and sleep well at night. The right thing for the Albanians to do now (after the elections) is either to accept they are in Serbia, or move to Albania. Serbs can be friendly neighbors, just don't take their land, you guys are friends.

Congrats to the Radicals and Coalition win yesterday. Cheers to the heroic Serbs.

uli why would Albanians want such terrible things like that? Maybe this just reflects your Albanian mentality

Play whatever you want , Dacic , till tommorow evening - than you have meeting..,with reality!!

See you in coalition , "old" friend!!

Would you look at that, B92 acknowledging a spelling mistake! Funny how they seem to be incapable of backing up ludicrous claims about an entire ethnicity when proven otherwise!

Not surprised though, given we are in the 21st century and Serbs still exhibit a Milosevic mentality.
