During the campaign period, candidates concentrated on issues such as fighting against corruption, introducing environmental measures, improving public transport, and expanding Belgrade's water systems.

SNS and SPS lost its coalition majority in the Assembly, while from the opposition, SPN and the National Democratic Alternative won 43 and 7 seats respectively.

With the We–The Voice from the People of conspiracy theorist Branimir Nestorović unexpectedly gaining representation in the Assembly, the 2023 election resulted in a hung parliament.

The City Assembly was not constituted by 3 March 2024, ultimately triggering a snap election in which SNS re-gained its parliamentary majority with Šapić coming back as mayor.

[4][5][6] After the negotiations, Vuk Stanić, a councillor-elect of the City Assembly, left the Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia, and voted in favour of Aleksandar Šapić of SNS becoming mayor in June 2022.

[7][8] Later in October 2022, the Ujedinjeni councillor group filed a proposal for dismissal of Šapić, citing alleged illegal legalisation of the extension of an apartment at Bežanija.

[16][17] The government of Serbia responded by adopting measures such as stricter regulations on gun ownership and hiring 1,200 police officers to schools,[18][19] while it was also criticised, particularly due to the statement of Branko Ružić, the minister of education, who said that "a cancerous, pernicious influence of the Internet, video games, and so-called Western values, is evident" (evidentan je kancerogen, poguban uticaj interneta video igrica, takozvanih zapadnih vrednosti) in the shooting, and Ana Brnabić, the prime minister of Serbia, who said that the "system did not fail" (sistem nije zakazao) when responding to the claims that the government could have stopped the shootings.

[30] Miroslav Aleksić alleged in October 2023 that between 300 and 500 citizens daily fictitiously changed their home address because of the elections in Belgrade, accusing the local government of being involved in the process.

[31] Ana Gođevac, a SSP councillor, also said that between 21 September and 24 October 2023, the number of registered voters in Vračar increased by 356 and that the same pattern was noticed in other municipalities of Belgrade.

[68] With the dissolution of the City Assembly of Belgrade and a call for elections to be held on 17 December, the deadline to submit electoral lists was set for 26 November.

[70] M — National minority list Dušan Vučićević, an associate professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences of the University of Belgrade, said that opposition parties could perform well in municipalities like Savski Venac, Vračar, and Stari Grad.

Srećko Mihailović from Demostat, a research and publishing non-governmental organisation, also said that opposition parties could receive an even better result in comparison with the 2022 election.

[83] Dejan Milenković, a professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences, also said that "the upcoming elections are significant and may be decisive" (zato su predstojeći izbori značajni i mogu biti prelomni).

[84] Political scientist Boban Stojanović said that "the 2023 elections are even more uncertain than the previous ones, especially when it comes to Belgrade" (predstojeći izbori neizvesniji nego prethodni, posebno kada je reč o Beogradu).

[95] The Serbian Radical Party, led by Vojislav Šešelj, announced that it would contest the Belgrade City Assembly elections with SNS.

[112] Fila has campaigned on pensioners' interests, improving the representation of women in the executive and legislative branches of the local government, and even development of all parts of Belgrade.

[118] Veselinović named "politics without violence and corruption" (politika bez nasilja, korupcije), making sure that there is a place for every child in kindergartens, preserving city's landscape and environment, and improving Belgrade's traffic as one of their main issues.

[120] The mayoral candidate of SPN, Obradović, named traffic problems, local government organising, transparency, air pollution, public security, and environment as key issues.

[125] In response, BIA denied the claims, declined to investigate the threats, and demanded Miketić to release public information about the intimate photo.

[134] A supporter of cryptocurrency and anti-discrimination politics, Štimac was also previously involved in a conflict with the Milenijum tim company which retains close relations with SNS.

[73] Later, in an interview with Demostat, Ristić said that, in order to fix traffic jams, the government should invest more in new public vehicles, increase the number of drivers, lower the amount of administrative workers, and buy more trams.

[75] In an interview with Demostat, Gajić emphasised his support for creating more public transport lanes and roundabouts to lower the number of traffic jams, to build more kindergartens, and to invest in new bus vehicles.

[143] The coalition composed of Enough is Enough, Social Democratic Party, and Stolen Babies movement submitted their electoral list on 23 November under the name Good Morning Belgrade.

[146] Zoran Alimpić reported that opposition members of GIK complained about the electoral list's documentation, alleging that the citizens group had falsified signatures of support.

[177] Miodrag Jovanović, a professor at the Faculty of Law, said that in regards to the voters of Republika Srpska voting in the Belgrade City Assembly election, "it is illegal for someone to have a residence where he does not live".

[196][197][198] Vučić issued an urgent statement in response to the attempt to storm the building of the City Assembly of Belgrade, saying that "a revolution is not happening".

[206] The election resulted in a hung parliament, with Nestorović's MI–GIN being the party that could choose whether to side with the ruling coalition of SNS and SPS or the opposition of SPN and NADA.

[212] Opposition parties and alliances that won representation after the 2023 election and that expressed their support for the formation of a government include SPN and NADA.

[212][213] Pavle Grbović, the president of the Movement of Free Citizens, said that "despite differences, some form of cooperation is possible [with other opposition parties], especially at the level of Belgrade".

[223][224] SSP, Zajedno, and Serbia Centre opted to boycott, while the rest of SPN parties took part under the We Choose Belgrade banner.
