Djindjic’s takeover of the DS in 1994 — an inter-party coup that left its former chairman, Dragoljub Micunovic, no choice but to back down in favor of the younger firebrand — is eerily reminiscent of the way Milosevic gained control of the Serbian Communist League in 1987.
Djindjic was one of the main organizers of the October uprising, making behind-the-scenes deals and coordinating attacks on the Television, the Parliament and numerous other state institutions.
When Djindjic announced in mid-October that General Nebojsa Pavkovic — CO of the Third Army during the Kosovo war and the current chairman of Yugoslavia’s Joint Chiefs — was to be sacked, Kostunica denied that statement and kept Pavkovic in his post for the sake of state stability.

Djindjic se aseguró un puesto de relevancia como presidente de la comisión directiva de partido, pero entonces era bastante menos conocido que el presidente de la formación, Dragoljub Micunovic, y que el grupo de eminentes escritores y profesores que lo animaban.
Djindjic dijo entonces que era "mejor una oposición dividida que una encabezada por Draskovic", primera manifestación de una malquerencia mutua que se iba a prodigar en los años siguientes.
Djindjic fue exhortado a que ensanchara la base de la SZP para plantear un frente uniforme anti Milosevic, a lo que él se avino, pero con la insistencia de que Occidente precisara sus sanciones de manera que dañaran a Milosevic y su gente, no al pueblo serbio.

Djindjic himself became Serbian prime minister and in a short space of time pushed through a number of painful economic and political reforms which were bitterly opposed by Kostunica.

Zoran Djindjic was born in 1952 in the north of Bosnia, the son of an officer of the Yugoslav army.
Since the Zajedno debacle, Djindjic has set his sights on a career as the West's man. He was clever enough not to openly support NATO's bombardment of Yugoslavia—which would have discredited him too badly in the eyes of the population.
