Vucic: I never said the election results were tampered with

The laying of the corner stone for the plant of the company IGB Automotive Group in Indjija was the opportunity to ask the current prime minister and leader of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), Aleksandar Vucic, to clarify his statement about the election result suddenly having been turned in favor of the opposition parties. Namely, Vucic has stated that the opposition's barging into the Republic Electoral Commission (RIK) during the election night represented pressure on that institution and that "suddenly, the election result started to change, just like they wanted," referring to the opposition parties for which it was unclear at that time whether they had passed the parliamentary census. To the question of the journalist of Insajder.net about whether the SNS had evidence of tampering, because that was a criminal act, Vucic said that he had not mentioned tampering with the results. Here is the statement of the SNS leader.

Vucic said that his party might not have any other ally in the Parliament besides the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (SVM), and would thus have the majority of 135 seats. He said that a broader coalition would not be made, and that he had no intention of going to 190 seats because that would call for numerous compromises, which he did not wish to make.

He said that the new government would be formed 15 days after the constituting of the Parliament, at the latest, and denied claims that about certain portfolios in the new government having already been taken.
