1996 Serbian local elections

Local elections were held in Serbia over two rounds on 3 November and 17 November 1996, concurrently with the 1996 Vojvodina provincial election; the first day of voting also coincided with the 1996 Yugoslavian parliamentary election and the 1996 Montenegrin parliamentary election.[1] This was the third local electoral cycle held while Serbia was a member of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the last time that Serbia oversaw local elections throughout Kosovo and Metohija until its parallel elections in 2008.

Delegates to city and municipal assemblies were elected in single-member constituencies; if no candidate secured a majority in the first round of voting, the top two candidates would face each other in a runoff vote in the second round.

Campaign and aftermath

The elections took place during the time of Slobodan Milošević's authoritarian rule as president of Serbia. In most major jurisdictions, Milošević's Socialist Party of Serbia (Socijalistička partija Srbije, SPS) ran in an alliance with the Yugoslav Left (Jugoslovenska Levica, JUL) and New Democracy (Nova demokratija, ND).

The main opposition grouping was the Zajedno (English: Together) alliance, which was officially formed in September 1996 by the Democratic Party (Demokratska stranka, DS), the Serbian Renewal Movement (Srpski pokret obnove, SPO), and the Civic Alliance of Serbia (Građanski savez Srbije, GSS).[2] The Democratic Party of Serbia (Demokratska stranka Srbije, DSS) contested the Yugoslavian parliamentary election as part of Zajedno; it mostly fielded its own candidates in the local elections, although it took part in the Zajedno alliance in some jurisdictions, including Kragujevac, Pančevo, Smederevo, and Čačak.[3]

The far-right Serbian Radical Party (Srpska radikalna stranka, SRS) contested the election on its own, directing its attacks on both Milošević and Zajedno.[4]

The election results were marked by weeks of controversy, particularly in major urban centres such as the capital Belgrade and Niš. Zajedno claimed victory in several of these communities, but the SPS did not accept defeat, and the local election commissions (which were often controlled by allies of Milošević) initially refused to certify the opposition victories. In Belgrade, the election commission invalidated the results in thirty-three constituencies won by Zajedno and called a third round of voting for 27 November. The Zajedno parties boycotted the third round, charging that it was an abuse of process.[5] These events led to the 1996–1997 protests in Serbia, in which student and opposition groups held a series of non-violent street rallies against the Milošević government.

The Milošević government held a counter-rally in Belgrade on 24 December 1996, which drew only sixty thousand attendees (many of whom had been brought in from rural areas) against three hundred thousand opposition protesters.[6] Three days later, a delegation from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) ruled that the opposition had indeed won several of the contested areas, including Belgrade, Niš, Pančevo, and Zrenjanin.[7] The Serbian government began to soften its position after this time, accepting the opposition's victory in Niš on 8 January 1997.[8] The Belgrade election commission announced on 17 January that Zajedno had won the elections; the government initially refused to accept this ruling, but on 13 February (following police attacks on the demonstrators that were condemned internationally) the Serbian parliament approved a lex specialis that affirmed almost all of the victories claimed by Zajedno.[9] The protests wound down after this time, and the Zajedno coalition took power in Belgrade and several other cities.

Ultimately, the parties in Zajedno were not able to remain united at the republic level, and the coalition fell apart in Belgrade before the year was over. In some jurisdictions, including Novi Sad, the parties were able to maintain their alliance until the next local election cycle in 2000.

Results

Note: Vote totals and percentages refer to the results in the first round of voting.

Belgrade

Elections were held at the city level and in all of Belgrade's constituent municipalities. The Zajedno alliance won a majority victory in the city, as well as winning control of most municipal assemblies. The Socialists won a smaller number of victories, mostly in the city's outer suburbs, while the Radicals won control of Zemun.

(Note: Only parties or alliances that won representation in the assembly are listed. The election for the City Assembly of Belgrade was the only election for which results were not provided in the Serbian government's report of the 1996 cycle.)

DS leader Zoran Đinđić was chosen as mayor on 21 February 1997, by a vote of sixty-eight to twenty-four among the city assembly's delegates. There were sixteen abstentions and one delegate was absent.[10] Zajedno gained another seat shortly after the election, when DSS delegate Aleksandra Joksimović joined the DS.[11]

The SPO left the Zajedno alliance later in the year. Đinđić was dismissed as mayor on 30 September 1997, via an SPO motion that was supported by the SPS and SRS. Sixty-seven of the sixty-eight delegates present voted for Đinđić 's dismissal; the other delegate abstained. The non-SPO members of Zajedno boycotted this sitting of the assembly on the grounds that it had been improperly constituted.[12] Milan Božić of the SPO became the city's acting mayor, and SPO members came to hold all of the major positions in the city government with the informal support of the SPS and SRS. Vojislav Mihailović, also of the SPO, was selected as the city's new mayor in January 1999.
