Обнављање парламентарног поретка у Србији 1990.
The Restoration of the Parliamentary Regime in Serbia in 1990

Summary/Abstract: The multiparty political system in Serbia developed from the populist “antibureaucratic revolution” of Slobodan Milosevic. In their programs and even more in their activities, all major Serbian political parties followed the main tacks that became dominant in the Serbian public opinion after 1988 and they acted on daytoday basis, following (mostly) or disputing (less often) what Milosevic had set as the political standard - the unified Serbia and Yugoslavia as a federation. The opposition had and couldn’t have a clear alternative to Milosevic’s national program because the political future was halted by forces beyond its control. For that reason no real alternative to his ideological system was created and because of that he won the first elections convincingly and hands down. The first multiparty elections in Serbia were marked by a series of events typical for transition from oneparty system to the multiparty one: exclusion of the opposition from the media, regime repression, large degree of political intolerance among people of diverging political opinions. The political system in Serbia during the last decade of 20 th century was a kind of authoritarian regime possessing democratic and parliamentary institutions, but lacking real democracy. Regardless of their democratic form, the institutions of the system were just a façade for personal power of Slobodan Milosevic.
