Local elections were held in Serbia on 11 May 2008, concurrently with the 2008 Serbian parliamentary election and the 2008 Vojvodina provincial election. A re-vote was held at three poling stations in Belgrade on 18 May 2008 due to irregularities in the voting process.^[1]

were held on the same date.

Negotiations between the ruling parties, the President's DS and the Premier's DSS, were trying to enact a compromise on the date of the election. Tadić's Democratic Party wanted to respect the constitutional law, wanting to schedule the election by the end of year and hold it in March 2008, which is DSS's demand because of the

wanted the Mayors and municipal Presidents to be elected directly as in the past, but the Democratic Party wanted them to be elected by the local parliaments.

Four laws necessary for the local elections (on territorial organisation, the capital, local elections and local self-government) were passed before the elections.

There were some notable changes from the previous local electoral cycle in 2004:

• the direct election of mayors was eliminated, and mayors were instead chosen by elected members of the assemblies;
• the electoral threshold was increased from three to five per cent (of all votes, not only of valid votes);
• all assembly mandates were awarded to candidates on successful lists at the discretion of the sponsoring parties or coalitions, irrespective of numerical order.^[4]

The "Serb List" political of SRS, DSS, NS, SPS and several nationalist civic groups and organizations had been formed and ran in most of Vojvodina locally.

The City of Belgrade election, like the concurrent national assembly election, did not initially produce a clear winner. Representatives of the Radical Party, the Democratic Party of Serbia–New Serbia alliance, and the alliance around the Socialist Party held discussions about forming government; had these parties finalized an agreement, Aleksandar Vučić of the Radical Party would have become mayor.^[8]

Ultimately, however, For a European Serbia formed a coalition government with the alliance around the Socialist Party. The Liberal Democratic Party was not a part of the coalition but offered outside support. Dragan Đilas of the Democratic Party became mayor and Milan Krkobabić of the Party of United Pensioners of Serbia (aligned with the Socialist Party) became deputy mayor.^[9]

Branislav Belić served as mayor on an interim basis from July to August 2008, before Đilas was sworn in.

Elections were held in all seventeen of Belgrade's constituent municipalities in 2008. The elections were generally a victory for the For a European Serbia alliance led by the Democratic Party, which ultimately won the mayor's office in twelve municipalities. The Democratic Party of Serbia did not finish in first place in any municipalities, but party representatives became mayors in three municipalities: Grocka and Mladenovac in alliance with the Democratic Party, and Lazarevac in alliance with the Radical Party. The Radicals held the mayoralty in their historical stronghold of Zemun, and former Socialist Živorad Milosavljević's independent list retained power in Sopot.

This was the last time the Radical Party was the dominant party in any municipal government in Belgrade. The party split later in the year, and the breakaway Serbian Progressive Party ultimately superseded the Radicals in popular support.

Many of the governing coalitions formed after the election were unstable, and new elections were held in the municipalities of Voždovac and Zemun in 2009.

Incumbent mayor Branislav Blažić of the Radical Party was initially confirmed for another term in office after the election, leading a coalition that also included the Socialist Party and the Democratic Party of Serbia. While still in office, Blažić left the Radicals to join the newly formed Serbian Progressive Party, taking most of the local Radical Party organization with him. After doing this, he sent the offer of a coalition government to the Democratic Party, which was rejected. On 20 October 2008, the Democratic Party formed a new administration that included the Socialists, the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians, the League of Social Democrats, and the Serbian Renewal Movement; Jagoda Tolicki served as mayor.^[93][94][95] Tolicki was in turn replaced by fellow Democratic Party member Ilija Vojinović on 17 June 2009.^[96]

Zoltán Pék of the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians was chosen as mayor after the election.^[108] He remained in this role until February 2010, when shifting political alliances allowed the Democratic Party to form a new administration with Anikó Širková as mayor.^[109] Pék took a seat in the municipal assembly on 15 June 2010 and led the VMSZ delegation there for the next two years.^[110][111]

Local elections were held in the one city (Novi Sad) and all eleven separate municipalities in the South Bačka District.

The City of Novi Sad comprises two municipalities (the City municipality of Novi Sad and Petrovaradin), although their powers are very limited relative to the city government. Unlike Belgrade, Niš, and Vranje, Novi Sad does not have directly elected municipal assemblies.

The Radical Party finished in first place in six municipalities, although the party's hold on power in these areas was not strong. The Radicals initially formed government in four of the six municipalities where they won the popular vote, but they soon lost power in all four, weakened by internal divisions and by the loss of the Socialist Party as a coalition partner. (The Radicals returned to power in Bačka Palanka in 2010 and remained in office there until 2012. They have not led a local government in the district since that time.)

By the end of 2008, members of the Democratic Party held the mayoralties in Novi Sad and eight other jurisdictions. Representatives of different parties in the Hungarian Coalition claimed the mayoralties in Bečej and Temerin, and an independent list broadly aligned with the Democratic Party won the election in Srbobran.

Incumbent mayor Milan Ćuk of the Radical Party was confirmed for another term in office after the election. The government proved to be unstable, and the municipal assembly became dysfunctional in 2009 after the Socialists withdrew their support from Ćuk's administration. The government of Serbia removed Ćuk as mayor in August 2009 and set up a temporary authority with Veroljub Marković of the Democratic Party as its leader.^{[196][197][198]} A new election was held in the municipality on 24 January 2010.

Local elections were held in both cities (i.e., Šabac and Loznica) and all six municipalities of the Mačva District.

In Šabac, the Democratic Party won the election and afterward led a local coalition government. In Loznica, G17 Plus did the same thing.

The Serbian Radical Party won the elections in Bogatić, Krupanj, Mali Zvornik, and Vladimirci. In Bogatić and Vladmirci, the Radicals initially governed in a coalition with the Socialist Party of Serbia and other parties; in both cases, a new coalition led by the Democratic Party came to power in 2010. In Mali Zvornik, the Radicals were only briefly in power before being replaced by a Democratic-led administration. In Krupanj, a delegate from New Serbia served as mayor in a coalition administration.

The Socialist Party won the election in Ljubovija; the Democratic Party initially formed a coalition government, which the Socialists joined in 2009. Veroljub Matić's list won the election in Koceljeva and led a coalition government afterward.

Mijailo Milovanović of the Serbian Radical Party was chosen as mayor after the election, governing in a coalition with the Socialist Party of Serbia.^[233] In 2010, he was succeeded by Vladica Marković of the Democratic Party.^[234]

Local elections were held for the City Assembly of Niš, the assemblies in all five of Niš's constituent municipalities, and the assemblies in all six of the Nišava District's other municipalities.

The results in the election for the city assembly were inconclusive. As at the republic level, and in Belgrade, a coalition was ultimately formed by the For a European Serbia alliance and the Socialist Party. Representatives of the Democratic Party also claimed the mayors offices in Meridana and Pantelej, while a member of the Socialist Party became mayor in a coalition government in Palilula. The Democratic Party of Serbia dominated the local coalition in Niška Banja, while the Radicals led the coalition government in Crveni Krst (and remained in power following the split in the party).

The Radicals also won the election in Aleksinac and were initially the dominant force in that municipality's governing coalition. After the party split, a new governing coalition came to power with a member of the Democratic Party of Serbia as mayor.

Local incumbents from New Serbia were re-elected in Doljevac and Ražanj, and an incumbent Socialist Party mayor was confirmed for another term in Gadžin Han. In Merošina, a Socialist Party representative served as mayor in a governing alliance with the Democratic Party and G17 Plus. United Peasant Party leader Milija Miletić was chosen as mayor in Svrljig and remained in office for the term that followed, excepting a three-month period in 2009–10.

The

Babić died of a heart attack on 27 February 2009.[295] Nikolić Vukajlović served as acting mayor until 19 March 2009, when a new coalition of For a European Serbia, the Socialist Party of Serbia, and the Movement for Kraljevo came to power with Ljubiša Simović of the Democratic Party as mayor.^[296][297] This coalition proved unstable as well, and the Movement for Kraljevo soon withdrew its support from the administration.

On 15 April 2010, a coalition of the Serbian Radical Party, the Democratic Party of Serbia, and the Movement for Kraljevo temporarily attained a majority of seats in the assembly under extremely contentious circumstances. Ljubiša Jovašević of the Movement for Kraljevo was chosen as mayor.^[298] The ZES–SPS coalition did not accept the legitimacy of Jovašević's election, and a chaotic situation emerged in which two rival administrations, backed by two rival assemblies, claimed to be the city's government.^[299]

The ZES–SPS coalition ultimately regained control of the local government on 7 July 2010; Simonović was confirmed as the city's legitimate mayor, and the previous election of Jovašević as mayor was annulled. The government became more stable after this time, and Simonović served as mayor for the remainder of the term.^{[300][301][302][303]}

By virtue of accepting an executive role in the city government on 16 June 2008, Vesna Nikolić Vukajlović was required to resign her seat in the city assembly.^[304] She reclaimed her seat on 19 June 2009.^[305] On 24 April 2010, the disputed city assembly associated with Ljubiša Jovašević appointed her as director of the public company Toplana, and she was required to resign her seat once again.^[306][307] Divisions later arose in the local Radical Party, and she was removed as the company's director on 22 June 2010.^[308] On 16 July 2010, after Simonović's administration was restored to power, the city assembly annulled both her appointment and subsequent dismissal.^[309]
