The party secured a majority in the Belgrade city council with 52.9% of the votes.

Opposition, led by Manojlovic, alleged irregularities and refused to recognize the results.

Opposition cited concerns about media freedoms, corruption, and ties to organized crime.

International observers from the OSCE are monitoring the situation.

Tensions are escalating, with opposition clashes reported in Belgrade and Novi Sad.

The outcome in Belgrade could have significant implications for Serbia's political landscape.

Serbia aims to address issues such as rule of law, corruption, and relations with Kosovo to align with EU foreign policies.
