MCC Votes & Seats Podcast – Election insight
Votes & Seats: Legislative election in Serbia, 2023
This time, we discuss the background, the outcome and the possible repercussions of the legislative, regional, and local elections that took place in Serbia on the 17th of December, 2023. Dr. Miša Đurković guides us through the deep forest of Serbian party politics. The principal research fellow of the Institute of European Studies Belgrade stressed that SNS, the Serbian Progressive Party of head-of-state Aleksandar Vucic won resoundingly, securing twice as many votes and seats in the National Assembly as their nearest rival. All this provides SNS a clear majority (49%). Additionally, the center-right party triumphed in 165 municipalities, including Belgrade, by sweeping the regional and municipal elections. In our podcast, Dr. Đurković explains the possible reasons for bringing the elections forward, assesses the performance of the political formations running in the ballot, while shading a light on certain geopolitical constrains among which the December 2023 elections were held in Serbia.
