He ran for president five times across twelve years - losing three run-offs, watching one victory annulled for low turnout - before finally winning Serbia's top office in 2012 after breaking from the far-right party that had been his political home for decades.

So under the pretext of fulfilling conditions for the European Union we are actually giving ourselves an opportunity to organise the country.

I am grateful to the citizens of Serbia for giving this chance to the government to do so much. But in foreign policy we will not change anything.

Serbia is a step away from a great opportunity, which I assure you we will not miss.

About this person

Tomislav Nikolić was born 15 February 1952 in Bajčetina, a village near Kragujevac, and spent years as a member of parliament for the far-right Serbian Radical Party. He served as Deputy Prime Minister of Serbia from 1998 to 1999 and of FR Yugoslavia from 1999 to 2000, rising to deputy leader of SRS in 2003. In 2008, he split with party leader Vojislav Šešelj over the question of EU accession - Nikolić now favored it, Šešelj did not - and walked out to form the Serbian Progressive Party, taking several members with him. His fifth presidential campaign, in 2012, succeeded: he defeated Boris Tadić in the run-off and held the presidency until 2017.
