In the end, the SSJ didn't manage to come up with a single seat and won only around 40,000 votes. The yawning disparity between the money spent by Arkan on his campaign (estimates of 3-7 million Deutsche marks have been made) and the results he achieved, or rather didn't, lead to the conclusion that his campaign is one of the worst investments made in Serbia in the last few years
