Serbian PM Vucic declares victory in presidential elections

PEOPLE'S SUPPORT

Experts said that election results have proven people's support for the reforms and austerity measures of the government of Vucic, despite criticism from both pro-EU and anti-EU oppositions.

Professor Vladimir Vuletic of the Faculty of Political Sciences of the Belgrade University said the results came expectedly and the biggest mystery was who will stand out in these elections as the new leader of the opposition, and this person might be Jankovic, the second-ranked candidate.

He said there should be no major changes in Serbia's political scene and Serbia will "continue politically in the same way as it did, both in foreign and domestic issues."

Sociologist Milan Nikolic said the opposition lost the elections because they did not come out united, but proposed several candidates.

Economist Vladimir Krulj said that the election results provided an answer to the question that media frequently asked: Do citizens support the economic policy of Vucic's or not?
