Former Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said his coalition had lost the parliamentary election, citing preliminary results from a stratified sample.
“Based on the stratified sample, it is clear that we lost these elections,” Vucic said.
The Student List won 135 seats, while his United Serbia bloc secured 105 seats. A majority in Serbia’s 250-seat parliament requires 126 mandates.
Vucic had signaled his readiness to call early parliamentary elections at the end of 2025. On September 7, he approved the dissolution of parliament, while the ruling SNS nominated him for prime minister.
The former president, who had repeatedly said he planned to step down and contest the parliamentary election “as an ordinary citizen,” left office late last month.
