Chamber:
	Vece Gradjana
Dates of elections / renewal (from/to):
	20 December 1992 3 January 1993
Purpose of elections:
	Elections were held for all the seats in Parliament following the premature dissolution of this body on the basis of constitutional amendments adopted in September 1992. General elections had previously been held in May 1992.
Background and outcome of elections:
	The date of the elections was announced on 24 October and the two-month campaign opened the same day. Parliamentary polling at the federal level was held simultaneously with presidential and legislative voting within the constituent republics of Serbian and Montenegro. Fore the 138 Chamber of Citizens seats, 1276 candidates were approved by polling committees. Lists of nominees were submitted by 28 parties, five coalitions and three citizen’s groups. Main issues debated included the lifting of the United Nations Security Council sanctions in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the economic development of the country and the ongoing conflict pitting Serbian forces against those of former Yugoslav republics of Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Voting procedures were witnessed by some 100 foreign observers from 20 countries. Polling results bore out a strong Serb nationalist feeling as the Socialist Party of Serbia led by Mr. Slobodan Milosevic, emerged as the leading party among the 10 that gained parliamentary representation, with 47 seats, followed by the extremist Serbian Radical Party. The former, however, lost its absolute majority in the Chamber as it relinquished a total of 27 seats. A new coalition – the main opposition Democratic Movement of Serbia DEPOS – came in third. Certain observers, including a team fielded by the CSCE (Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe), concluded that the federal polling was neither free nor fair. In the Serbian presidential contest, Mr. Milosevic, with hard-line views, was re-elected over Prime Minister and opposition leader Milan Panic. On 29 December, Mr. Panic was removed from his office pursuant to a vote of no confidence which had been tabled by the Radical Party.
