One of the possible reasons for the conflict lies in Seselj's increasing strength in Serbia. According to as yet unpublished public opinion polls, since December last year, Seselj has managed to ``steal'' a third of the voters who have decided in the meantime, that they will not vote for the SPS. On the other hand, it seems that Seselj also believes that he is suffering because of his strength and links with the other Serb states. He accuses the SPS of having sold out on Knin, Lika and Western Slavonija (``in return they are getting Eastern Slavonija and Baranja''), and claims that he is in the way of such transactions
