Serbia parliament convenes after boycott-tainted election
Main opposition players accuse Vucic of ruling autocratically
03 August, 17:06Their traditional coalition partners, the Socialist Party (SPS), form the next largest bloc with 32 members. And the only opposition party that ran in the election and passed the threshold to enter parliament, the new Serbian Patriotic Alliance (SPAS) with 11 MPs, has expressed interest in joining a ruling majority. There are also some 20 seats held by small ethnic minority parties, who have traditionally backed the ruling camp. Serbia's main opposition players boycotted the vote altogether, decrying what they say is Vucic's increasingly autocratic rule over the EU candidate country. (ANSA-AFP).
