Parliamentary elections were held in Serbia on 22 June 1897 to elect members of the National Assembly.
Results
A total of 191 members were elected, with a further 63 appointed. The elections were boycotted by the Liberal Party, while the Serbian Progressive Party had dissolved itself prior to the elections. As a result, the People's Radical Party won all the seats. However, several members of the Liberals and Progressives were named amongst the appointees to the National Assembly.https://www.dlib.si/stream/URN:NBN:SI:DOC-1NOTCT4O/226dc3cd-bebd-4684-9ffd-78ae18c3d7ce/PDF Cedomil Mitrinović and Milos N.
