Parliamentary elections were held in Serbia on 16 March 2014, with nineteen electoral lists competing for 250 members of the National Assembly. The election was called early, after tensions in the coalition led by the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS). President of Serbia Tomislav Nikolić scheduled the election at the same time as the previously announced Belgrade City Assembly election. Voter turnout was 53.09%, with 3.22% of votes invalid.http://www.vreme.com/cms/view.php?id=1182944 Glasali ste, gledajte Vreme 16 March 2014 sr 19 March 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140713095754/http://www.vreme.com/cms/view.php?id=1182944 13 July 2014 dead

Background
2014 Belgrade City Assembly election
Following the last election, the coalition led by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) won a plurality. After two months of negotiations, the Serbian Progressive Party formed a coalition government with the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS).http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2012&mm=07&dd=27&nav_id=81476 New cabinet elected; PM, ministers take oath of office B92 27 July 2012 19 February 2014 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20131113223750/http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2012&mm=07&dd=27&nav_id=81476 13 November 2013 Ivica Dačić (SPS) became prime minister, while Aleksandar Vučić (SNS) became first deputy prime minister. The former ruling party and now main opposition, Democratic Party (DS), suffered heavy losses in the election but retained a majority in Belgrade, a coveted position in Serbian politics. An internal split within the DS over leadership following the election further weakened its position with the mayor of Belgrade, Dragan Đilas (DS) losing a non-confidence vote.http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics.php?yyyy=2013&mm=09&dd=24&nav_id=87773 Councilors vote to remove Belgrade mayor from office B92 24 September 2014 19 February 2014

Electoral system
The National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia is a unicameral parliament with 250 seats. The entire country is a single whole electoral unit, with all votes accumulated together and then MPs allocated in accordance to the D'Hondt method. The electoral threshold is set at 5%. However, electoral lists that are officially submitted as aiming to represent one of the country's registered national minorities have no barrage set. That means that, according to the valid electoral law, such a list needs to win 0.4% of the total votes in order to secure its 1st MP seat.https://www.slobodnaevropa.org/a/24572157.html CeSID: SNS 24,7 posto, DS 23,2 posto glasova Radio Slobodna Evropa
Despite the rejection of the Kosovan Albanians and in context of the Kosovo problem, voting was still organized on the territory of Kosovo, as per UNSCR 1244 (1999) and the Kumanovo Technical Agreement. Voting in Kosovo was handled, and not just seen, by the OSCE.http://www.b92.net/info/vesti/index.php?yyyy=2014&mm=02&dd=10&nav_category=640&nav_id=810340 Koha: OEBS organizuje srpske izbore

The Commonwealth of Independent States, Albania and Russia sent observing missions from their domestic Commissions, and the American, British and Bulgarian embassies in Belgrade sent observing missions.

The Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) retained their coalition with United Serbia (JS) and the Party of United Pensioners of Serbia (PUPS).

Democratic Party of Serbia
The Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) of ex-prime minister Vojislav Koštunica considered forming a Eurosceptic "Patriotic Bloc" with Dveri and possibly the Serbian Radical Party. DSS later stated that it chose not to form a coalition with other parties that expressed interest because it felt that those parties did not fully embrace DSS positions and that they merely wanted to join for the purpose of entering parliament.https://www.rts.rs/page/stories/ci/story/1/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0/1510814/%D0%9A%D0%BE%D1%88%D1%82%D1%83%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B0:+%D0%94%D0%A1%D0%A1+%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%BD%D0%BE+%D0%BD%D0%B0+%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B5.html Коштуница: ДСС самостално на изборе Radio televizija Srbije DSS officially submitted to the Republic Electoral Commission its candidate electoral list on 6 February.https://mondo.rs/a659569/Info/Srbija/RIK-potvrdio-listu-DSS-Vojislav-Kostunica.html RIK potvrdio listu DSS - Vojislav Koštunica

Government formation
Although SNS alone had the required minimum of 126 seats, it maintained its pre-electoral coalition with SDPS, NS and SPO-DHSS, along with all of the lesser partners such as PS. Dačić noted that there were no discussions of government formation, but that SPS-PUPS-JS was ready to continue on where it left off. Đilas noted that the Democrats excluded any possibility of coalition and that they would have talks merely with President Nikolić, rejecting his call. While all of the three (Hungarian,Pastor: Očekujem poziv SNS-a na razgovore rts.rs Bosniakhttp://www.b92.net/info/vesti/index.php?yyyy=2014&mm=03&dd=17&nav_category=11&nav_id=824926 Ugljanin očekuje poziv u vladu and AlbanianHalimi: Ne očekujem previše rts.rs) minority parties noted that they would enter the government, Ljajić explicitly noted that SDPS would not be a part of the future ruling coalition if SDA joined it.https://mondo.rs/a674237/Info/Srbija/Ljajic-Necu-u-vladu-sa-Ugljaninom.html Ljajić: Neću u vladu sa Ugljaninom Tadić considered the Socialists responsible for bad policy so his coalition would not join with the Progressives' if a coalition with the SPS was restored.http://www.kurir-info.rs/tadic-nds-nece-sa-sps-u-vladu-clanak-1288039 Tadić: NDS neće sa SPS u Vladu Srbije
