Presidential candidacies have been announced by the vice-president of
the Serb Radical Party, Tomislav Nikolic, and the leader of the
Democratic Party, Boris Tadic, who is the incumbent defence minister
of Serbia and Montenegro.
The Serbian parliament recently annulled a provision under which more
than 50 percent of voters had to go to the polls in the first round of
elections for the vote to be valid.
Because of this provision Serbian citizens have been unable to elect a
president since late 2002, when the then president, Milan Milutinovic,
indicted by the UN war crimes tribunal, was transferred to The Hague.
