About the election

The electoral alliance “Aleksandar Vučić – Serbia Must Not Stop” (led by President Aleksandar Vučić’s Serbian Progressive Party, SNS) won a majority in the 250-member National Assembly, winning a total of 129 seats, up from 120 in 2022. Its coalition partner, the “Ivica Dačić – Prime Minister of Serbia” alliance (led by former Speaker Ivica Dačić’s Socialist Party of Serbia, SPS), reduced its share from 31 to 18 seats. “Serbia Against Violence”, a pro-European Union opposition alliance led by Ms. Marinika Tepić (see note) and Mr. Miroslav Aleksić, won 65 seats.

The snap elections in 2023 – the third elections in four years – were held only 20 months after the previous polls. Election monitors and local media reported irregularities in voting, especially in the capital Belgrade. Voting was repeated on 30 December 2023 and on 2 January 2024.

Note:

In the 2022 elections, Ms. Tepić led another opposition coalition, “United for Serbia’s Victory”, which took 35 seats. The 2023 coalition name derives from anti-government protests that opposition groups started after two mass shootings in May 2023. Amid mounting pressure, on 1 November, President Vučić announced early elections for 17 December 2023.
