All vice presidents of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) offered their resignations on Monday, with a final decision expected at a meeting of the party’s Main Board in seven to ten days, the Beta news agency reported on Tuesday.
A senior SPS official told Beta that party leader Ivica Dačić had accepted responsibility for the poor election result but had not offered to resign himself.
The upcoming Main Board meeting will also address whether the SPS should participate in the forthcoming Serbian presidential elections.
The SPS received just 2.13 per cent of the vote in the early parliamentary elections, meaning that, for the first time since its founding, the party will have no representatives in Serbia’s national parliament.
The result marks a major setback for the party, which dominated Serbian politics during the 1990s under Slobodan Milošević and remained a political force in subsequent decades.
