BELGRADE, Oct 8 (Hina) - Cedomir Jovanovic's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), Natasa Micic's Civil Alliance of Serbia (GSS), Zarko Korac's Social Democratic Union and Nenad Canak's League of Vojvodina Social Democrats (LSV) on Sunday called on Serbian citizens to boycott the coming referendum on Serbia's new constitution.
BELGRADE, Oct 8 (Hina) - Cedomir Jovanovic's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), Natasa Micic's Civil Alliance of Serbia (GSS), Zarko Korac's Social Democratic Union and Nenad Canak's League of Vojvodina Social Democrats (LSV) on Sunday called on Serbian citizens to boycott the coming referendum on Serbia's new constitution.

The four parties also announced they would form a coalition and participate in the coming parliamentary elections together.

The Serbian parliament last Saturday approved a new constitution, declaring the UN-run province part of Serbia.

The lawmakers -- 242 of them present at the session -- unanimously voted in favor of the constitution, that will replace the current one drafted in 1990 by late former autocratic leader Slobodan Milosevic.

Given that the new constitution needs a yes-vote on a national referendum before becoming valid, the Serbian parliament speaker set the plebiscite for October 28 and 29, urging voters to give the proposed new constitution the legally required two-thirds support and underscore Serbia's opposition to possible independence for Kosovo that might come as the result of the UN-brokered talks on the province.

Kosovo is a province of Serbia but Belgrade has had no authority over the separatist region since a 1999 NATO bombing campaign forced Serb troops to pull out and end a crackdown against ethnic Albanian separatists.
