2000 Serbian local elections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[1] In a change from the previous cycle, delegates were elected by first-past-the-post voting rather than in run-off elections.[2] 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).[3]

North Bačka District
Elections were held in all three municipalities of the North Bačka District. The Democratic Opposition of Serbia alliance won a landslide victory in Subotica, and the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians afterward held the most important offices in the city, with members of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Alliance of Croats in Vojvodina also holding key positions.
The Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians fielded its own slate of candidates in Bačka Topola (in partnership with the Democratic Fellowship of Vojvodina Hungarians) and Mali Iđoš (on its own) and won majority victories in both jurisdictions.

When the assembly convened on 17 October 2000, incumbent mayor József Kasza and incumbent executive board president Imre Kern, both of the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMSZ), were confirmed for new terms in their respective offices. Bela Tonković of the Democratic Alliance of Croats in Vojvodina (DSHV) and Nebojša Janjić of the Democratic Party (DS) were chosen as deputy mayors.[55] (The VMSZ and the DS were both constituent members of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia at the republic level; the DSHV was not, although it worked in conjunction with the alliance in Subotica.)
There were several changes in the city's political leadership between 2000 and 2004. József Kasza stood down as mayor on 8 February 2001 after being appointed as a deputy prime minister of Serbia and was replaced by fellow VMSZ member István Ispánovics.[56] Relations between the VMSZ and the DS subsequently worsened, and Janjić was removed as a deputy mayor in defiance of the existing coalition agreement.[57]
Imre Kern stood down as president of the executive board on 16 May 2002 after being appointed to a position in the Vojvodina provincial government (although he remained a member of the city assembly). The following day, Géza Kucsera of the VMSZ was chosen as his replacement and Saša Vučinić of the DS was chosen as a deputy mayor.[58]
István Ispánovics resigned as mayor on 29 May 2003, citing health issues, and was replaced by Kucsera. Rumours circulated that the transition actually took place due to divisions in the VMSZ. Árpád Papp, also of the VMSZ, succeeded Kucsera as president of the executive board.[59][60]
Bela Tonković was expelled from the DSHV in October 2003 and was removed as a deputy mayor on 10 November 2003.[61]

South Bačka District
Elections were held in all twelve municipalities of the South Bačka District. 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.[76]
Independent candidates won the largest number of seats in Bački Petrovac, and independent candidate Pavel Zima was subsequently chosen as mayor of the municipality.

Nišava District
Local elections were held in the City of Niš, both of Niš's constituent municipalities, and the six other municipalities of the Nišava District.
The results showed a pronounced divide between the city, where the DOS won an overwhelming victory, and its periphery, where the SPS–JUL alliance won majority victories in every jurisdiction except one. (The exception was Svrljig, where the result was a tie and a member of the DOS ultimately won the mayor's office.)
The SPS subsequently lost its majority in Ražanj, and a temporary administration was appointed prior to a new election in 2002.
