Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić stated that the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) won 69,3 percent of the votes in Negotin, while the opposition, as he called it, "blockade" list came in second with 26,7 percent of the votes, which would translate into mandates of 33 to 12.
In a telephone call from the Belgrade headquarters of the SNS, Vučić also said that the remaining two lists did not pass the census.
In Sečanj, the parties that make up the government came out separately. Vučić says that based on data from 16 out of 17 polling stations, the SNS won 60,9 percent, the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) 4,7 percent, and the "blockade" list 30,4 percent.
"I expect the next victory in Sečanj to be much more convincing," said Vučić.
In Mionica, the SNS has 52,6 percent of the vote, and the opposition list has 38,5 percent of the vote.
In the last local elections held in Negotin, which were in 2021, the list of the SNS and the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) won a total of 76 percent of the vote, according to the Savremena politika portal.
In the municipality of Mionica, in previous cycles, there were various coalitions between the SNS, SPS and the Serbian Radical Party (SRS), and in all combinations they won between 70 and 80 percent of the votes at the local level.
The last time citizens went to the polls in Mionica for the republican elections, in December 2023, these three parties won 66 percent.
In Sečanj, the Progressives, Socialists, and Radicals won almost 84 percent of the votes cast by citizens in the last local elections in 2022.
According to these rough calculations and preliminary data, the ruling coalition won more than 20 percentage points in Sečanj, between 14 and twenty percentage points in Mionica, and around six percentage points in Negotin.
