2008 Serbian local elections

none Local elections were held in Serbia on 11 May 2008, concurrently with the 2008 Serbian parliamentary election and the 2008 Vojvodina provincial election. A re-vote was held at three poling stations in Belgrade on 18 May 2008 due to irregularities in the voting process.B92 – News – Politics – Revote ongoing in six polling stations https://web.archive.org/web/20110607023252/http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2008&mm=05&dd=18&nav_id=50333 2011-06-07 Background According to the Constitutional Law adopted by the National Assembly on 30 September 2006 that proclaimed the new constitution, the parliamentary Speaker (at that time Oliver Dulić from DS) had to schedule the elections for local administrative units by 31 December 2007.https://archive.today/20130416143647/http://www.novosti.rs/code/navigate.php?Id=1&status=jedna&vest=96098&datum=2006-09-30 Novosti Vecernje novosti Politika He scheduled them on 2007-12-29.B92 - News - Politics - Dulić calls local, provincial ballots for May https://web.archive.org/web/20110606223009/http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2007&mm=12&dd=30&nav_id=46562 2011-06-06 Following the official breakdown of the government on 8 March 2008, early parliamentary elections were held on the same date. Negotiations between the ruling parties, the President's DS and the Premier's DSS, were trying to enact a compromise on the date of the election. Tadić's Democratic Party wanted to respect the constitutional law, wanting to schedule the election by the end of year and hold it in March 2008, which is DSS's demand because of the solution of the status of Kosovo. G17 Plus wanted the Mayors and municipal Presidents to be elected directly as in the past, but the Democratic Party wanted them to be elected by the local parliaments. Four laws necessary for the local elections (on territorial organisation, the capital, local elections and local self-government) were passed before the elections. There were some notable changes from the previous local electoral cycle in 2004: the direct election of mayors was eliminated, and mayors were instead chosen by elected members of the assemblies; the electoral threshold was increased from three to five per cent (of all votes, not only of valid votes); all assembly mandates were awarded to candidates on successful lists at the discretion of the sponsoring parties or coalitions, irrespective of numerical order.See Law on Local Elections (2007) https://web.archive.org/web/20210603022044/https://www.legislationline.org/documents/id/4326 2021-06-03 , made available via LegislationOnline, https://web.archive.org/web/20210603055629/http://www.legislationline.org/topics/country/5/topic/6 2021-06-03 , accessed 29 May 2021.

There is a discrepancy between these sources as to the total number of votes cast. The latter source is taken as definitive. The City of Belgrade election, like the concurrent national assembly election, did not initially produce a clear winner. Representatives of the Radical Party, the Democratic Party of Serbia–New Serbia alliance, and the alliance around the Socialist Party held discussions about forming government; had these parties finalized an agreement, Aleksandar Vučić of the Radical Party would have become mayor."Serbian Radicals, Socialists and PM's party sign deal on Belgrade," British Broadcasting Corporation Monitoring European, 28 May 2008 (Source: Studio B TV, Belgrade, in Serbian 1100gmt 28 May 08). Ultimately, however, For a European Serbia formed a coalition government with the alliance around the Socialist Party. The Liberal Democratic Party was not a part of the coalition but offered outside support. Dragan Đilas of the Democratic Party became mayor and Milan Krkobabić of the Party of United Pensioners of Serbia (aligned with the Socialist Party) became deputy mayor."Đilas gradonačelnik Beograda", Izbori 2008, B92, 19 August 2008, accessed 20 June 2021. Branislav Belić served as mayor on an interim basis from July to August 2008, before Đilas was sworn in. Municipalities of Belgrade Elections were held in all seventeen of Belgrade's constituent municipalities in 2008. The elections were generally a victory for the For a European Serbia alliance led by the Democratic Party, which ultimately won the mayor's office in twelve municipalities. The Democratic Party of Serbia did not finish in first place in any municipalities, but party representatives became mayors in three municipalities: Grocka and Mladenovac in alliance with the Democratic Party, and Lazarevac in alliance with the Radical Party. The Radicals held the mayoralty in their historical stronghold of Zemun, and former Socialist Živorad Milosavljević's independent list retained power in Sopot. This was the last time the Radical Party was the dominant party in any municipal government in Belgrade. The party split later in the year, and the breakaway Serbian Progressive Party ultimately superseded the Radicals in popular support. Many of the governing coalitions formed after the election were unstable, and new elections were held in the municipalities of Voždovac and Zemun in 2009.

South Bačka District Local elections were held in the one city (Novi Sad) and all eleven separate municipalities in the South Bačka District. The City of Novi Sad comprises two municipalities (the City municipality of Novi Sad and Petrovaradin), although their powers are very limited relative to the city government. Unlike Belgrade, Niš, and Vranje, Novi Sad does not have directly elected municipal assemblies. The Radical Party finished in first place in six municipalities, although the party's hold on power in these areas was not strong. The Radicals initially formed government in four of the six municipalities where they won the popular vote, but they soon lost power in all four, weakened by internal divisions and by the loss of the Socialist Party as a coalition partner. (The Radicals returned to power in Bačka Palanka in 2010 and remained in office there until 2012. They have not led a local government in the district since that time.) By the end of 2008, members of the Democratic Party held the mayoralties in Novi Sad and eight other jurisdictions. Representatives of different parties in the Hungarian Coalition claimed the mayoralties in Bečej and Temerin, and an independent list broadly aligned with the Democratic Party won the election in Srbobran.
