2000 Serbian local elections

none 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. To date, this was the last local electoral cycle in Serbia in which assembly delegates were elected in single-member constituencies; all subsequent cycles have been held under proportional representation.See Law on Local Elections https://web.archive.org/web/20210602214900/https://www.legislationline.org/download/id/884/file/0d8d99ead530542ed63af7e60f5fa07d.pdf 2021-06-02 , Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, No. 33/2002; made available via LegislationOnline, accessed 29 May 2021. In a change from the previous cycle, delegates were elected by first-past-the-post voting rather than in run-off elections.Izbori, 2000. Za Odbornike Skupština Opština i Gradova, Bureau of Statistics – Republic of Serbia, p. 3. 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 Belgrade Elections were held at the city level and in all of Belgrade's constituent municipalities. The Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS) won a majority 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 municipal assemblies and all but one seat in three others. The only Belgrade municipality that the DOS did not win was Sopot, where the Socialist Party of Serbia–Yugoslav Left alliance won a majority government under the incumbent mayor. 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 municipality, while the DOS refrained from fielding candidates in three divisions (presumably due to pre-election arrangements with other opposition candidates).Izbori, 2000.

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 (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.Dragoljub Petrović, "Kursadžije, partizani i Zvezde Granda", Danas, 27 October 2009, accessed 15 August 2021.
