The president of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), Ivica Dačić, stated that the party is running independently in the elections and rejected speculation that talks are taking place behind the scenes with the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) about a pre-election coalition.

"The SPS General Board (GB) supported my announcement in July that we would independently run in the upcoming early parliamentary elections and that we would have our own presidential candidate. This was unanimously supported by 500 people, who were present at the party's GB session," Dačić told the newspaper Politika.

"We have been in coalition with our traditional partners for a long time, and there are United Serbia and Green Serbia, and nothing has changed there," said the SPS president.

He also stated that it was agreed within the Socialists that the municipal, city and district committees of the Socialist Party of Serbia should submit lists of candidates for MPs, as well as candidates for President of the Republic, by August 25th at the latest, and that future presidential elections could be expected in late December or January.
