Radoslav Zdravković

The DSS participated in the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (Demokratska opozicija Srbije, DOS) coalition in the 2000 Serbian local elections. In Rača, the DOS lost to the Serbian Renewal Movement (Srpski pokret obnove, SPO) but was nonetheless invited to participate in a local coalition government afterwards. Zdravković served as deputy mayor.^[2]

Zdravković appeared in the 125th position on the DSS's electoral list in the 2003 Serbian parliamentary election.^[1] The list won fifty-three mandates, and he was not initially included in his party's delegation. (From 2000 to 2011, mandates in Serbian parliamentary elections were awarded to successful parties or coalitions rather than individual candidates, and it was common practice for the mandates to be assigned out of numerical order.^[3] Zdravković's list position had no formal bearing on whether he received a mandate.)

Serbia introduced the direct election of mayors in the 2004 local elections; Zdravković was the DSS's candidate in Rača and finished in third place. He also led the DSS list in the concurrent municipal assembly election and was elected when the list won four mandates.^[4][5][6]

Zdravković was given a mandate in the national assembly on 18 November 2004 as the replacement for another DSS delegate.^[7] The DSS was the dominant power in Serbia's coalition government at the time, and he served as a supporter of the administration. During his parliamentary term, he was a member of the committee on relations with Serbs outside Serbia.^[8] He received the 113th position on a combined DSS–New Serbia (Nova Srbija, NS) list in the 2007 parliamentary election; the list won forty-seven seats, and he was not given a mandate for a second term.^[9][10]

The DSS and NS continued their alliance into the 2008 parliamentary election and won thirty mandates. Zdravković appeared in the 101st position and was again not included in the DSS delegation.^[11] He also appeared in the second position on the DSS–NS list in the concurrent 2008 local elections and took another local mandate when the list won nine seats, finishing in a tie for first place with the rival Democratic Party (Demokratska stranka, DS).^[12][13][14] The DSS participated in the local government afterward, and Zdravković was again chosen as the municipality's deputy mayor.^[15] He was dismissed from the position on 9 June 2010 and does not seem to have returned to political life since this time.^[16]
