2000 Serbian local elections

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Local elections were held in Serbia (excluding Kosovo) on 24 September 2000, concurrently with the first round of voting in the 2000 Yugoslavian general election and the 2000 Vojvodina provincial election. This was the fourth and final local electoral cycle to take place while Serbia was a member of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

The 2000 Yugoslavian general election was a watershed event in Serbian politics, leading to the 5 October Revolution and resulting in the downfall of Slobodan Milošević's administration. The local elections, while less important in their own right, were part of the same general transformative moment.

This was the final local electoral cycle in Serbia (to date) in which assembly delegates were elected in single-member constituencies; all subsequent cycles have been held under proportional representation.[1] In a change from the previous cycle, delegates were elected by first-past-the-post voting rather than in run-off elections between the top two candidates.[2] The method of election undoubtedly contributed to the lopsided results in some opposition strongholds, including the capital Belgrade.

The Democratic Opposition of Serbia (Demokratska opozicija Srbije, DOS), a broad and ideologically diverse coalition of parties opposed to the Milošević administration, won significant majority victories in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, and other major cities. Candidates from the Democratic Party (Demokratska stranka, DS), one of the main parties in the coalition, claimed the mayoralties in several jurisdictions won by the DOS (although not in the City of Belgrade, where a series of representatives from other DOS parties held the mayor's office).

Results

[edit]

Belgrade

[edit]

Elections were held at the city level and in all of Belgrade's constituent municipalities. The Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS) won a landslide victory in the election for the City Assembly of Belgrade and equally strong victories in many of the city's constituent municipalities. The alliance won every seat in three municipalities and all seats but one in three others.

The only Belgrade municipality that the DOS did not win was Sopot, where the Socialist Party of Serbia–Yugoslav Left won a majority government, helped by the presence of an incumbent mayor who was personally popular in the community.

Other than Sopot, the only municipality in Belgrade where the DOS did not win the popular vote was Lazarevac. It may be noted that the Socialist Party–Yugoslav Left alliance ran a full slate of candidates in this jurisdiction, while the DOS refrained from fielding candidates in three divisions (presumably due to pre-election arrangements with other opposition candidates).[3]

Vojvodina

South Bačka District

[edit]

Elections were held in all twelve municipalities of the South Bačka District. The Democratic Opposition of Serbia was successful in most areas, winning the Novi Sad municipal assembly in a landslide and participating on the winning side in at least seven of the eleven other municipalities in the district (sometimes in alliance with the Serbian Renewal Movement and other opposition candidates).

The Socialist Party of Serbia held its historical strongholds of Bačka Palanka and Beočin and also won a narrow victory in Titel (although it was not able to form a stable government in the last of these communities). The defeat of the Socialists in Vrbas, another of the party's historical strongholds, was considered an upset.[51]

Independent candidates won the largest number of seats in Bački Petrovac, and independent candidate Pavel Zima was subsequently chosen as mayor of the municipality.

Nišava District

[edit]

Local elections were held in the City of Niš, both of Niš's constituent municipalities, and the six other municipalities of the Nišava District.

The results showed a pronounced divide between the city, where the DOS won an overwhelming victory, and its periphery, where the SPS–JUL alliance won majority victories in every jurisdiction except one. (The exception was Svrljig, where the result was a tie and a member of the DOS ultimately won the mayor's office.)

The SPS subsequently lost its majority in Ražanj, and a temporary administration was appointed prior to a new election in 2002.

The election resulted in a tie between the Socialists and the combined forces of the opposition. When the assembly convened Tihomir Vidanović of the Democratic Party was chosen as mayor over SPS candidate Saša Golubović. Vidanović resigned in 2004, and Golubović (who had since left the SPS to join G17 Plus) was chosen as his successor.[101]

Šumadija District

[edit]

Elections were held in all seven municipalities of the Šumadija District. The DOS won a somewhat unexpected majority victory in Kragujevac and also won majorities in Aranđelovac, Lapovo, and Topola. A local opposition alliance including the DOS won in Knić, and in Rača the DOS and SPO ran a combined campaign and won a landslide majority.

The SPS–JUL alliance won a narrow majority in Batočina and an incumbent mayor from the Yugoslav Left initially remained in power, but he was removed from office in 2001. The Democratic Party of Serbia won a new election in the municipality later in the same year.

In Kragujevac, the local membership of the Democratic Party was divided between members who favoured membership in the DOS and those who wanted to align with the "Together for Kragujevac" citizens' group (led by incumbent mayor Veroljub Stevanović, a member of the Serbian Renewal Movement). The DS board was dissolved in the middle of the campaign, and many of its members joined Stevanović's campaign.

The DOS's majority victory in the city was somewhat unexpected.[103] Vlatko Rajković, a Democratic Party member who remained aligned with the DOS, was chosen as mayor after the election.[104]
