The reformers, led by former Yugoslav President Vojislav Koštunica, have been unable to gain control of the Serbian presidency because three successive presidential elections have failed to produce the required 50% turnout. The assassination in March 2003 of reformist Prime Minister, Zoran Đinđić was a major setback. At these elections the former reformist alliance, the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS), had broken up into three parts: Koštunica's Democratic Party of Serbia, late Prime Minister Đinđić's Democratic Party and the G17 Plus group of liberal economists led by Miroljub Labus. Opposing them were the nationalist Serbian Radical Party of Vojislav Šešelj and Milošević's Socialist Party of Serbia (descended from the former Communist Party). At the time of the election, both Šešelj and Milošević were in detention at ICTY, Milošević accused of committing war crimes, Šešelj of inspiring them. The remaining candidate was the monarchist Serbian Renewal Movement–New Serbia (SPO–NS) coalition, led by Vuk Drašković. Following the election the three former DOS parties (DSS, DS and G17+) fell two seats short of a parliamentary majority, holding 124 seats between them. After months of coalition talks Koštunica, Labus and Drašković's parties reach an agreement with the outside support of the Socialist Party in March 2004 which enabled Koštunica of the DSS to become prime minister.Timeline: After Milosevic BBC News, 6 June 2006 Electoral lists Following electoral lists took part in the 2003 parliamentary election:Arhiva - Izbori za narodne poslanike - 2003. http://arhiva.rik.parlament.gov.rs/latinica/arhiva-izbori-za-narodne-poslanike-2003.php 2022-10-08 arhiva.rik.parlament.gov.rs No. Number Ballot name Ballot carrier Main ideology Political position 1 G17 Plus – Miroljub Labus G17+, SDP Mlađan Dinkić Liberal conservatism Centre-right 2 Serbian Radical Party – dr Vojislav Šešelj SRS Vojislav Šešelj Ultranationalism Far-right 3 Democratic Party of Serbia – Vojislav Koštunica DSS, SLS, SDSS, NDS Vojislav Koštunica Conservatism Centre-right 4 Democratic Alternative – Nebojša Čović DA Nebojša Čović Social democracy Centre-left 5 Democratic Party – Boris Tadić DS, GSS, DC, SDU, LZS Dragoljub Mićunović Social democracy Centre-left 6 Serbian Renewal Movement – New Serbia – Vuk Drašković – Velimir Ilić SPO, NS Vuk Drašković Conservatism Centre-right 7 OTPOR Otpor Čedomir Čupić Anti-corruption Centre 8 "For National Unity" prof.
