A narrow majority in a future Belgrade City Assembly was not good enough for the ruling Serbian Progressive Party as it would not provide for full stability which would be required for the Expo project realization, Bojan Klacar, the executive director of the Centre for Free Elections and Democracy (CeSID), said on Jan. 26.

In a statement to Belgrade daily Politika, Klacar said that in making potential deals with certain aldermen, the Progressives would take into account the number of protesters at opposition rallies and international pressure, the latter, he said, were low-intensity at the moment. 

Klacar added that the unity within We - The Voice of the People movement was no longer as solid as it had been shortly after the vote, noting that not all movement members shared the same view regarding a potential coalition with the Progressives. 

“Some fissures have appeared on the key issue for them - whether to rule out potential cooperation with the ruling coalition in Belgrade,” Klacar noted.
