The first exit polls released after polling stations closed at 7pm indicated this result, given that Milanovic already had more than six percent advantage at the time.

They know it was not intentional, but politics is such. I wish you to have a moderate and sober celebration, but no worries, this is not a prohibition announcement. Let's be unique in diversity, smile...
