Socialists to Remain in Coalition with Vucic

Meeting between Socialist and Progressive leaders on Sept. 3 2021.Belgrade (BETAPHOTO/MILAN OBRADOVIC/DS)

Serbian speaker Ivica Dacic’s Socialist Party of Serbia will be running in the next election in a close alliance with their long-term partner, President Aleksandar Vucic’s Serbian Progressive Party, but this pre-election partnership has yet to be fine-tuned into a definite form. The Socialists are very close to a decision not to nominate a candidate for Serbian president next April, but to support Vucic’s race for another term instead.
