Belgium's Flemish separatist party, the New Flemish Alliance (NVA), has emerged as the largest force in parliament, near-complete election results show.

The NVA took 27 seats in the 150-member assembly, bringing the country closer to a split.

The party, led by Bart De Wever, wants to more fully divide the country between Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking Wallonia.

But the NVA would have to form a coalition with Wallonian parties.
