		BELGRADE, Serbia and Montenegro--With the split of the ruling Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS) coalition and corruption and scandals sinking its leading Democratic Party (DS) in the polls, Serbia is heading for an electoral clash of heavyweight opposition parties.
		The November elections--boycotted by the main reformist opposition parties: former Yugoslav President Vojislav Kostunica’s Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS), and Miroljub Labus’ G17 --saw the crushing defeat of DOS candidate Dragoljub Micunovic by Tomislav Nikolic, the head of the nationalist Serbian Radical Party (SRS).
		The result led to democratic coalition’s split and gave wings to SRS, which named its new electoral list “SRS-Vojislav Seselj,” after its founder and leader, who is currently on trial for war crimes at the Hague-based International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY).
