Serbian leader Aleksandar Vučić was prepared to hold on to power by force, but backed down after talks with representatives of European governments, the British newspaper The Times reported.

Politicians and a former senior police official who spoke to The Times claimed that Vucic nearly staged a violent coup to stay in power, before suddenly admitting defeat in Sunday's election.

According to their claims, Vučić was determined to hold on to power after 12 years at the helm, but gave up when it became clear that the “Student List” had won about 500,000 more votes in the parliamentary elections and when he received phone calls warning him not to try to contest the results.

"He sent 4,000 police officers and 3,000 thugs to the center of Belgrade to protect the regime on Sunday. I am 100% sure that he planned to refuse to recognize the results," said Spasoje Vulević, former commander of Serbia's Special Anti-Terrorist Unit (SAJ).

Sandro Goci, Member of the European Parliament and President of the European Democratic Party, stated that worrying information was received during the election day. “On Sunday, we received alarming reports from diplomatic sources that Vučić was ready to fight and carry out a coup,” Goci said.

Radomir Saičić, one of the leading candidates of the “Student List”, who is expected to hold a high position in the next Serbian government, also claims that Vučić planned to use violence, but changed his mind at the last moment.

"They had a plan to use brute force to nullify the electoral will if the result was close, but I have information that he received many calls from the police and other circles, which made him change his mind," Saičić said.

"They convinced him that implementing that plan would end very badly for him," he added.

Saičić also claims that a former police officer, who warned his colleagues not to beat or shoot protesters, received an anonymous threat that read: "The first bullet is for you."

The men in black arriving at "Pionirski Park"

Faced with the biggest electoral challenge of his political career, which came from a student movement whose representatives accused him of placing the police, judiciary and media under government control, Vučić claimed that his opponents were agents of unidentified foreign states.

As Serbian citizens went to the polls in record numbers on Sunday, men dressed in black were seen heading towards Belgrade's "Pionirski Park", where they would set up tents that had been occupied for months by violent Vucic supporters, who were allegedly paid by his party.

“They were sent in smaller groups, 20 to 30 people each,” Vulević said.

Members of the Gendarmerie, dressed in green uniforms, also took up positions, while several roads were closed and street lights were turned off.

Rade Đurić, a lawyer for the Association of Independent Journalists of Serbia, believes that the government was preparing a scenario to contest the election results.

"On Sunday morning, Vucic felt untouchable. I suspect they planned to mention irregularities during the voting and demand a repeat of the elections, which would have caused protests," Djuric said.

According to him, the government would incite violence and use it as an additional justification to cancel the elections.

Vučić surrendered at 9:30 PM, the bandits disappeared

However, at 9:30 p.m., an hour and a half after the polls closed, Vučić gave up his resistance to the election results and the groups of men who had gathered in central Belgrade disappeared, the Times writes.

Unconfirmed rumors have emerged in Belgrade that Vučić was discouraged from such a move by Viktor Orban, who himself lost power in Hungary in April after 16 years of rule accompanied by corruption allegations.

Vulević believes that Vučić was under strong pressure to admit defeat, but he does not believe that police officials convinced him to do so, because all commanders of units stationed in Belgrade were personally selected by Vučić, so it is unlikely that they would have opposed him.

"I believe that Vucic received phone calls from European governments. These were talks at the highest level," Vulević said.
