Serbia’s parliament convenes some 4 months after election

Serbia’s new parliament convened for its first session on Monday, some four months after an election that reaffirmed the domination of autocratic President Aleksandar Vucic and his right-wing populists.
Vucic’s Serbian Progressive Party holds the majority in the 250-member assembly and is expected to run the next Serbian government. Several opposition groups also made it into the parliament in the April 3 vote after they had boycotted a previous election.
The parliament took four months to convene due to the holding of repeat elections in some districts following complaints of irregularities.
