Miloš Vucevic, president of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), spoke after the victory in local elections in Kosjerić and Zaječar. He highlighted that the SNS list named “We Won’t Give Up Serbia” won 48% of the votes in Zaječar, marking a convincing victory under difficult conditions. Vucevic emphasized that citizens showed courage in resisting blockade tyranny and occupation of the city. He also mentioned pressures and an anti-campaign in Kosjerić, but SNS also won there. He expressed gratitude to all members, activists, and citizens who supported the party and candidates. He noted uncertainty about SPS passing the electoral threshold but expressed the desire for SPS, as a coalition partner, to pass the threshold.
Political Perspectives:
Left: Left-leaning outlets might emphasize the challenges faced by voters due to alleged pressures and anti-campaigns, highlighting the resilience of citizens against what they may describe as authoritarian tactics by the ruling party. They may also question the fairness of the elections and the political environment.
Center: Centrist sources tend to report the election results factually, focusing on the victory of the SNS in Kosjerić and Zaječar, the percentages of votes, and the statements by Miloš Vucevic. They may mention the political context and the coalition dynamics without strong bias.
Right: Right-leaning media emphasize the victory as a triumph of the ruling party and its candidates, praising the courage of citizens who resisted opposition blockades and portrayed the win as a validation of the SNS leadership and policies. They highlight the success despite difficult conditions and express confidence in the coalition’s future.
