Political Crisis After Serbia Fails to Elect President

HeadlineNov 17, 2003

This news from Serbia: For the third time in a year, Serbia failed to elect a president because of low voter turnout, triggering a political crisis in the country. The failed election left Serbia in a power vacuum. Parliament was dissolved last week because the government lost parliamentary support, leaving no one to call a new presidential vote. New general elections were set for Dec. 28. Serbia’s deputy prime minister, Zarko Korac, described the election results as a “tragedy” and said “We are entering a dangerous, dramatic phase of our future.”
