For this second round to be successful, it is necessary for at least
half the electorate to take the vote.
The majority of parties in the ruling DOS coalition called on voters
to go to the polls, while the leader of the radicals, Vojislav
Seselj (who came third in the first round of the election, with 22
percent of the vote), the president of the late Zeljko Raznatovic
Arkan's Serb Unity Party, Borislav Pelevic, and the Yugoslav Left,
headed by Slobodan Milosevic's wife Mirjana Markovic, called on
voters to boycott the second electoral round.
