STORYLINE:
Serbian ultra-nationalist Radicals won the most votes in Serbia's parliamentary election on Sunday, but pro-democratic party supporters were also celebrating as they may have won enough seats between them to form a new government.
Despite the Radicals winning about 29 percent of the vote, the combined votes of Serbia's pro-democratic parties meant they could form a government if they agree who will be the next prime minister.
Current premier Vojislav Kostunica, whose coalition was third in the polls, insists on retaining the post. But the Democrats of Serbian President Boris Tadic, who were second after the Radicals, want to have their own prime minister.
In the post election celebrations, President Tadic said it was important for the pro-European parties to join forces and settle their differences for the sake of the country.
"The thing I want to emphasise is that pro-European parties won two thirds of the votes in the parliament." Tadic told a crowd of supporters at his party headquarters in Belgrade.
"It is a important signal we are sending to Europe, and I hope that the political message sent out from Serbia will increase Serbia's political credibility, and that will provide better conditions for our people." he added.
Radical leader Tomislav Nikolic acknowledged that the ultra-nationalists will not be able to form the new government.
But in the Belgrade suburb of Zemun, Radical party supporters refused to let the possibility of a democratic bloc coalition dent their celebrations.
"We (the Radical Party) are the best again. And we will see later about the government." said one supporter.
Waving flags and balloons outside the Radical party headquarters, other supporters insisted that the formation of any government would be dependent on the cooperation of their party leaders.
Overall the Democrats doubled the number of their seats in Serbia's 250-seat parliament to 65 when compared to the previous vote in 2003.
