...Mr Tadic's Democratic Party and its allies gained 38.7 percent of the votes and secured 103 out of 250 seats in the country's parliament - not enough to form a coalition on his own.

The Serbian Radical Party of Tomislav Nikolic took 29.1 percent and 77 seats, while outgoing prime minister Vojislav Kostunica and his nationalist Democratic Party of Serbia won 11.3 percent and 30 seats.
The Socialists of the late Slobodan Milosevic with 7.9 percent of the votes and 20 seats in the parliament...

That's 200 of the 250 available...what is the disposition of those 50?
And it shouldn't go unremarked, that EU-friendly Tadic has "... vowed his new government would not recognise Kosovo as an independent state."
Further into the breech... Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
