| | Serbia 2000: Citizens in Politics |
 | | It is expected that the forthcoming elections will dramatically change the existing political scene by establishing new and by consolidating the existing authorities composed of opposition parties in many towns and municipalities in Serbia, and by achieving a decisive, moral and psychological victory on presidential elections. |
 | | The major political issues that the new government will have to resolve are free and fair elections, human and minority rights, independent judiciary, freedom of the media, property rights (including privatization), social policy, local government, regional autonomy, relations with Kosovo and Montenegro, relations with ex-Yugoslav republics and other neighboring countries and the European Union. |
 | | The main task of the new political elite which will make its first serious attempt to win power after 10 years, is not to prevent the necessary changes: democratization, economic reforms, institutional changes, integration in the European and regional integration processes. |
