The post-election deadlines defining the timeframe for setting up the new parliament and forming the new government are defined by law. The new parliament will have to convene 30 days after the Electoral Commission (RIK) releases its final results of the vote today. Parliamentary vote: What happens next? RIK has a deadline of 96 hours from the closing of the polls to announce the official results, which means that the first sitting of the new parliament can be expected by mid-June at the latest. Today's parliamentary ballot is conducted under the proportional system with the whole of Serbia as one election unit. Parties and coalitions must win at least five percent of the vote in order to gain seats in the parliament. But the five percent threshold does not apply to the parties and coalitions representing Serbia's ethnic minorities. Outgoing Parliament Speaker Oliver Dulic will call the first session of the new parliament. When the mandates of at least two thirds of the lawmakers have been confirmed, the old parliament's mandate will officially expire. As the parliament convenes and constitutes, the 90-day deadline for forming the new government starts. In this case, Serbia will get a new cabinet by September 14 at the latest. The president will propose a candidate for prime minister to the parliament, after he meets with party and coalition leaders who must inform him that they have the parliamentary majority – 126 votes out of the total of 250 MPs. If parties and coalitions cannot agree to form the government, the parliament will be dissolved and new elections called.
