The SNS has emerged victorious from no fewer than five parliamentary elections since it first formed a governing coalition in 2012.

Opposition parties are atomised - with no one single party capable of challenging the SNS, and an absence of a credible coalition.

This could, they suggest, establish an electoral environment that would reduce the SNS's domination of the media and state bodies.

SPN had hoped to deny the SNS a majority and win control of Belgrade.

Vucic’s SNS party won some 47% of the ballots in the parliamentary vote, followed by Serbia Against Violence with 23%, according to a near-complete preliminary tally by the state election commission.
