The pro-European Serbia Against Violence coalition came in second with 23.66% of the vote, the electoral commission said in a data release.

The Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), a partner of SNS in the current government coalition, was backed by 6.55% of the voters. Together, SNS and SPS would have an absolute majority in the 250-seat parliament.

Voter turnout stood at 58.77%.

On December 30, Serbia held a partial re-run of the vote at 28 out of 8,273 polling stations following protests over alleged vote fraud.

On December 20, the European Union said Serbia's electoral process requires tangible improvement, after a team of international observers pointed to a series of irregularities, such as "vote buying" and "ballot box stuffing." Last week, thousands of people gathered in the streets of Belgrade, demanding the annulment of the election.
