Pro-EU parties wins Serbian elections, face difficult coalition talks
The coalition of parties headlined by president Boris Tadić' Democratic party (DS), won the Serbian parliamentary election on May 11, according to the preliminary data released by the country's election body RIK, but faces difficult talks to form the new government. The coalition, which ran under the name For a European Serbia, won 38.75 per cent, RIK said, having counted 97.8 per cent of all ballots. That would give it 102 MPs in the 250-seat assembly. DS would have little problem co-opting the small Liberal Democrat party (LDP), which won 14 seats, despite earlier vote count results showing it was below the five per cent threshold to enter parliament, but even then it would be 10 MPs short of a majority in parliament.
