Summary/Abstract: Parties, as the most powerful actors in the democratic political system, strive to achieve the best possible result in the elections and to form the government independently or in a coalition. The change of parties in power usually has a significant impact on state policy. If the government is formed by coalitions of parties - as is the case with Serbia from 2000 to today - the biggest influence is achieved by the central parties. In the three coalition governments in Serbia, in the observed period, the main parties were the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party of Serbia. The three aforementioned coalition governments, under the decisive influence of the central parties, in the observed period defined the priority state interests of Serbia in different ways.
