From the fact that they are sure to enter a coalition with the Serbian Progressive Party after the extraordinary parliamentary elections on October 25, the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians has come to the point that they will act "depending on mathematics"
Union of Vojvodina Hungarians (SVM) is known as a reliable ally Serbian Progressive Party (SNS). Or so he said, while "listening to two masters" who were on friendly terms: Viktor Orbán in Budapest and Aleksandar Vučić in Belgrade.
In Hungary, which generously finances the Hungarian minority in Serbia, and the SVM, a completely different wind is blowing now, and the question is how the new Prime Minister Peter Magyar will view the alliance of the SVM and Orban's ally Vučić.
Whether it has anything to do with that, with the big rush of the Student List before the extraordinary parliamentary elections on October 25, or not, only the portal 021.rs writes that SVM previously announced the continuation of cooperation with the Serbian Progressive Party, but that now "electoral mathematics" has also appeared in the story.
The Democratic Union of Vojvodina Hungarians (DZVM) says, namely, that the latest statements by SVM officials "seriously call into question the credibility of this party before the voters."
They recalled that on April 15, 2026, the head of the party, Balint Pastor, announced that the Presidency and the Council of SVM unanimously decided to continue cooperation with Aleksandar Vučić and SNS.
Two weeks later, Pastor was more specific, saying that if the elections were called, the SVM would participate in them independently, but that they wanted continued cooperation and a coalition with the SNS, writes 021.rs.
And in August, he even emphasized that SVM is not "a gathering of political prostitutes", and that they will not "change their jersey in the middle of the game".
However, SVM Presidium member Elvira Kovač stated on September 23 that "we did not say unequivocally that after these elections we will be in a coalition with the Serbian Progressive Party."
She told Insider that they were satisfied with the cooperation with the progressives at the local, provincial and national level, but that the campaign had started and that the Serbian Progressive Party had also said: "Only us, on the other side are all the blockaders".
She also said that SVM will talk to Hungarians all over Vojvodina, ask them what they want, and then you will see what they will do, "depending on the math", and that at the moment, allegedly, they are not thinking at all with whom they could form a coalition.
DZVM, however, sees it as "political manipulation aimed at stopping the attrition of their voters."
The League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina also spoke out, calling on the SVM to take concrete political steps "already today", to "sever coalition ties" with the progressives and radicals of Vojislav Šešelj, "convicted of crimes against humanity, inciting persecution, deportation and forced relocation of citizens of Vojvodina", and show with actions where they stand politically.
And, the League claims, "the citizens of Vojvodina are clear in their opinion that the students are winning."
Kovač and Pastor were observers at the electoral headquarters of Orbán's Fidesz on April 12, 2026, when the parliamentary elections were held, and were visibly depressed when it was clear that he had lost by a landslide.
