2016 Serbian local elections

Local elections were held in most cities and municipalities of Serbia (excluding the disputed territory of Kosovo) on 24 April 2016, with repeat voting later taking place in some jurisdictions.

[4] Results of the election for the Municipal Assembly of Grocka: The DS list did not receive five per cent of all votes cast and so did not cross the electoral threshold.

[11] Results of the election for the Municipal Assembly of New Belgrade: Incumbent mayor Aleksandar Šapić was confirmed for another term in office with the support of twenty-six out of forty-seven delegates.

[19] Results of the election for the Municipal Assembly of Rakovica: Incumbent mayor Vladan Kocić of the Progressive party was confirmed for a new term in office, receiving the votes of thirty delegates.

[30] Results of the election for the Municipal Assembly of Stari Grad: Marko Bastać, at the time a member of the Democratic Party, was chosen as mayor by a secret ballot in May 2016 with the support of thirty-eight delegates.

Ljubiša Kukolj from the Radicals was included in the municipal council that was formed on 12 May 2016, although Bastać contended that this followed negotiations on an individual rather than a party level.

[37] Future parliamentarian Uglješa Marković of the Socialist Party received a local assembly mandate on 29 September 2016 and served for the remainder of the term.

The local administration was supported by the Progressives, Socialists, and Radicals, as well as the Our Voždovac group (which split from the Dveri–Democratic Party of Serbia list).

Aleksandar Šešelj, who was elected to the assembly at the head of the Radical Party list, served as a member of the municipal council (i.e., the executive branch of the government) from 17 June 2016 to 27 October 2017.

The Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians won plurality victories Kanjiža and Senta and in both cases formed a coalition government with the Progressives.

[93] Local elections were held in the one city (Novi Sad) and ten of the eleven separate municipalities of the South Bačka District.

Parliamentarian Nada Lazić received the fifteenth position on the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina list and was not elected.

The local government consisted of the Progressive Party's alliance, the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina, Zoran Knežević's group, and the Movement of Socialists.

The Socialist Party of Serbia narrowly won the election in Bogatić and afterward formed a coalition government that included the Progressives.

While the parties were aligned at the republic level during this time, the Progressives and Socialists were the principle rivals for power in some municipalities of the Mačva District.

The Progressive alliance won majority victories in Ćuprija and Despotovac, and it was ultimately able to form a stable coalition government in Rekovac as well.

[200] United Serbia leader Dragan Marković Palma was re-elected from the lead position on his party's list and was appointed afterward for a new term as speaker of the city assembly.

[210] This administration, too, fell shortly thereafter, and Aleksandar Đorđević of the Progressives was chosen as mayor in July 2016, leading a coalition government with United Serbia.

Jugoslav Stajkovac's independent list won a majority victory in Aleksandrovac; when he retired in 2019, he was replaced by a member of the Progressive Party.

The only municipality where the Progressives did not hold power by 2020 was Ćićevac, where Zlatan Krkić's independent group had won a majority victory.

[231] Miroslav Aleksić, who had served as mayor in the previous term, was re-elected to the assembly at the lead of the Together With the People coalition list.

The Serbian Progressive Party and its allies won in the predominantly Serb municipalities of Kraljevo, Raška, and Vrnjačka Banja.

[304] Minela Kalender, the incumbent deputy mayor, was elected to the assembly from the third position on the Party of Democratic Action's list.

The Progressives also won the election in Merošina, although local divisions in the party led to an unstable governing alliance in the years that followed.

The Socialists won Gadžin Han, and incumbent mayor Dobrica Stojković led New Serbia to a rare majority victory in Ražanj.

[311][312] Results of the election for the Municipal Assembly of Crveni Krst: Incumbent mayor Miroslav Milutinović of the Progressive Party was confirmed in office for another term, by a unanimous vote of the delegates present.

[331] He stood down in March 2019 following a recalibration of political forces in the community; his replacement was Marija Cvetković, a former Socialist who had joined the Progressives.

In Bela Palanka, an incumbent mayor from the Social Democratic Party initially won the election, after which the results were annulled, the mayor in question joined the Progressives (taking the entire local Social Democratic Party board with him), and the Progressive alliance won a majority victory in the repeat election.

[357] Shortly after the elections were annulled, the entire local board of the Social Democratic Party, led by incumbent mayor Goran Miljković, joined the Progressives.

[375] Former mayor Dejan Šulkić of the Democratic Party of Serbia led the Our Municipality in the First Place list and was re-elected to the assembly.
