SPS officials from \u0106uprija and Para\u0107in resign from positions on the Main Board of Da\u010di\u0107\u2019s party!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/tag\/sps\/\">The Socialist Party of Serbia<\/a><\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>(SPS) may be heading into the October elections amid serious upheaval at the local level, declining support and fears of failing to cross the electoral threshold, while resignations by party officials are coming in from boards across Serbia following the expulsion of Branko Ru\u017ei\u0107 from the party. According to Nova.rs, SPS members fear that they will be unable to cross the threshold if they run independently in the elections, which is why some of them have joined the Serbian Progressive Party in recent weeks. All of this coincides with the sudden revival of Bogoljub Kari\u0107\u2019s movement, which has been touring cities across the country as part of its pre-election campaign, leading to speculation that he has specifically targeted the Socialist electorate. So what can the Socialists hope for in October?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) may be heading into the October elections amid what is probably the biggest crisis since its founding, with the situation particularly evident at the local level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Nova.rs, Socialists, especially in southern Serbia, fear that they will not be able to cross the electoral threshold in the upcoming elections, while the situation is no better in neighboring districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That fear is not unfounded, given that in the local elections in Zaje\u010dar last June, SPS failed to cross the threshold, while this year in Se\u010danj it won just one council seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, according to Nova.rs, a large number of SPS members fear running independently in the elections, which is why some of them have joined the ranks of the Serbian Progressive Party in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The uncertainty over crossing the threshold is accompanied by a major SPS crisis in Ni\u0161, where the former president of the Ni\u0161 City Assembly, Igor Novakovi\u0107, was finally found guilty in March this year, after more than a decade of court proceedings, of abuse of office while serving as director of Jugoistok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After several months of postponements, Novakovi\u0107 was due to report to prison on August 10 to begin serving his sentence. He confirmed this himself on social media, where he called on Serbian President Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 and the president of the Supreme Court to \u201curge that the proceedings finally reach a conclusion through an extraordinary legal remedy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, the Ni\u0161 Progressives distanced themselves from Novakovi\u0107 following the conviction. He had been second on the \u201cAleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107 \u2013 Ni\u0161a sutra\u201d electoral list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As is often the case, troubles do not come alone, and the expulsion of Branko Ru\u017ei\u0107 from SPS has caused upheaval in Socialist Party boards across Serbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In just the past few days, several Socialists have resigned from positions in Belgrade as well as in other party boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">READ MORE: <\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-serbiantimes-info wp-block-embed-serbiantimes-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"LeMSvmS3e1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/eksplozija-u-porodicnoj-kuci-plinska-boca-jutros-eksplodirala-u-surcinu-utvrdjuju-se-okolnosti-incidenta-ima-povredjenih\/\">EKSPLOZIJA U PORODI\u010cNOJ KU\u0106I: Plinska boca jutros eksplodirala u Sur\u010dinu, utvr\u0111uju se okolnosti incidenta, ima povre\u0111enih!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"\u201eEKSPLOZIJA U PORODI\u010cNOJ KU\u0106I: Plinska boca jutros eksplodirala u Sur\u010dinu, utvr\u0111uju se okolnosti incidenta, ima povre\u0111enih!\u201c \u2014 Serbiantimes.info\" src=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/eksplozija-u-porodicnoj-kuci-plinska-boca-jutros-eksplodirala-u-surcinu-utvrdjuju-se-okolnosti-incidenta-ima-povredjenih\/embed\/#?secret=N3WhjLoPYZ#?secret=LeMSvmS3e1\" data-secret=\"LeMSvmS3e1\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members of the Main Board of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), Milutin Ru\u017ei\u0107 and Mateja Rankovi\u0107, submitted irrevocable resignations from all positions and membership in the party over Branko Ru\u017ei\u0107\u2019s expulsion from SPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On September 2, former vice president of the Government of Vojvodina and provincial secretary for the economy and tourism, Ivan \u0110okovi\u0107, also resigned from all positions in SPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senior Socialist Party of Serbia official Andrija Radivojevi\u0107 from Para\u0107in also announced that he had resigned from all positions in the party. The same was done by SPS Main Board member Dejan \u0106ur\u010di\u0107 and president of the SPS Municipal Board in Kur\u0161umlija, Milan Stepanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marko Simi\u0107 also resigned on September 5. He was the commissioner of the Socialist Party of Serbia Municipal Board in <a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/tag\/cuprija\/\">\u0106uprija<\/a>. In an open letter to the public, he described his decision as \u201cwell-considered\u201d and criticized the fact that SPS policy has been reduced to cooperation with the Serbian Progressive Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resignations of SPS members have not spared Kosovo either, as the president of the party\u2019s municipal board in Zubin Potok, Branko Prodanovi\u0107, left the party and resigned from all positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While SPS is visibly weakening at the local level, the leader of the Strength of Serbia Movement, Bogoljub Kari\u0107, has simultaneously been occupying the public space, touring cities across Serbia for months, handing out money in the streets and publicly promising jobs to citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His resurgence after years of silence certainly raises suspicions that Kari\u0107 is not doing all of this alone, but with the help of the authorities. During his pre-election visits across Serbia, local television stations have opened their doors wide to him, he is sometimes welcomed by SNS officials, and, as he himself stated, the Strength of Serbia Movement has once again activated its offices and boards across the country after a long period. The movement says that 102 boards in Serbia, including Vojvodina, were restored in around 40 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has created the impression that Kari\u0107 has actually targeted the SPS electorate, because the authorities, or Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107, do not want to give up even a single percentage point of votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given all these upheavals in such a short period, as well as several polls showing a dramatic decline in SPS support, the question arises as to what position this party, which has remained in power for decades, will be in when it faces possible October elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences Zoran Stojiljkovi\u0107 told Nova.rs that, regardless of everything, there are probably calculations that SPS could cross the threshold through certain coalition arrangements, for example with the SDP or Rasim Ljaji\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere has been a dispute with Ru\u017ei\u0107 within SPS for a long time, and it is obvious that there is some kind of \u2018pressure from outside the house,\u2019 namely from SNS and Vu\u010di\u0107, to resolve this issue before an electoral arrangement, fearing that a result leading to a post-election coalition could give SPS and some others a chance to be ready to switch sides, either immediately or after some time,\u201d Stojiljkovi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Nova.rs interlocutor also believes that Ru\u017ei\u0107 did not go far enough to become a strong internal party player and form his own faction or clearly defined group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe mainly stuck to statements, so it was assessed that the loss for the party would be below the risk of failing to cross the threshold. Those were probably some of the decisive factors. The loss was marginalized by the party declaring its own electoral campaign and candidate, which reduced the damage. We will see what happens,\u201d Stojiljkovi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The FPN professor says that Branko Ru\u017ei\u0107\u2019s future now lies outside the Socialist Party of Serbia, but that it probably does not amount to a \u201cmarketable position\u201d before the elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us recall that a CRTA poll conducted this summer that attracted considerable public attention showed, among other things, that only the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), alongside the students and SNS, would cross the threshold \u2013 and only barely, with 3.8 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rumors about SPS\u2019s declining ratings have been circulating for quite some time. The key evidence is the result of the 2023 parliamentary elections, when the party won around 6.55 percent of the vote, nine percentage points less than in 2012, when SPS, with 15.18 percent, was crucial to forming the coalition that would bring the Progressives to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Public opinion polls this year have given the party varying chances in possible parliamentary elections, but all of them are far below the double-digit figures that the Socialists once boasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/we-wont-let-them-treat-us-like-tourists-drivers-from-bih-serbia-montenegro-and-macedonia-to-protest-tomorrow-threaten-border-blockades-if-brussels-does-not-back-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u201cWE WON\u2019T LET THEM TREAT US LIKE TOURISTS\u201d: Drivers from BiH, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia to protest tomorrow, threaten border blockades if Brussels does not back down!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/with-the-money-of-citizens-who-have-no-water-cacak-spent-two-million-on-a-breskvica-concert-but-only-around-60-people-attended\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WITH THE MONEY OF CITIZENS WHO HAVE NO WATER: \u010ca\u010dak spent two million on a Breskvica concert, but only around 60 people attended!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/new-blow-to-education-government-preparing-a-law-that-will-punish-everyone-teachers-could-lose-their-licenses-while-students-could-be-transferred-out-of-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NEW BLOW TO EDUCATION: Government preparing a law that will punish everyone \u2013 teachers could lose their licenses, while students could be transferred out of school!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-medal-serbia-had-been-waiting-seven-years-for-marko-finishes-second-at-the-world-rowing-championships-silver-shining-like-gold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">THE MEDAL SERBIA HAD BEEN WAITING SEVEN YEARS FOR: Marko finishes second at the World Rowing Championships, silver shining like gold!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/human-and-sporting-greatness-dokovic-sends-powerful-words-to-one-of-his-greatest-rivals-on-his-induction-into-the-hall-of-fame-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HUMAN AND SPORTING GREATNESS: \u0110okovi\u0107 sends powerful words to one of his greatest rivals on his induction into the Hall of Fame!
