The head of the Workers' Party of Turkey, the child of Bosniak immigrants from Sandzak, has generated a stir in Turkish politics - which he hopes will translate into seats in the May elections.

The electoral list of Sulejman Ugljanin, president of the Party of Democratic Action, has defeated Belgrade's preferred candidate, Muamer Zukorlic - but has had to enter a coalition in order to keep its grasp over the Bosniak National Council, BNV.

According to a press release issued by the Bosniak National Council (BNV), Pacolli "expressed his anger over the threats made by Serbian Prime Minister Ana Brnabic at him and at the BNV."

"This contradicts the Brussels agreement that our two governments signed four years ago, and on this occasion we will write a protest note," Pacolli said.
