Cities and municipalities across Serbia held local elections on 20 December 1992, with a second round of voting taking place on 3 January 1993. The local elections took place concurrently with parliamentary elections in Yugoslavia, presidential and parliamentary elections in Serbia, and elections for the Vojvodina provincial assembly.
The elections were held under a two-round system of voting in single-member constituencies.
The Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) won the elections in most jurisdictions, including the capital Belgrade. The Democratic Fellowship of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMDK) was successful in Serbia's predominantly Hungarian communities.
This was the second local election cycle to take place while Serbia was a member of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and it occurred against the backdrop of ongoing wars in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Elections were held at the city level and in all of Belgrade's constituent municipalities. The Socialist Party of Serbia won a reduced majority victory in the city assembly and also won majority victories in most municipalities. In Palilula, Rakovica, and Zemun, the Socialists governed in an alliance with the Serbian Radical Party (SRS).
The opposition Democratic Movement of Serbia (DEPOS) won majority victories in Stari Grad, Voà ¾dovac, and VraÃÂar. In Zvezdara, the DEPOS alliance initially formed a coalition government with the Democratic Party. In both Voà ¾dovac and Zvezdara, divisions in the opposition ultimately led to the fall of their administrations.
In both Savski Venac and Voà ¾dovac, the Socialists and the Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO; the main party in the DEPOS alliance) ultimately formed coalition administrations.

Results of the election for the Municipal Assembly of à ½itià ¡te:
When the assembly convened on 18 January 1993, incumbent mayor Predrag Amià ¾iàand incumbent deputy mayor Kosta Milivojeviàwere confirmed for new terms in their respective offices. Both were members of the Socialist Party of Serbia. By virtue of serving as mayor, Amià ¾iàwas also president of the assembly's executive committee.
Elections took place in all three municipalities of the North BaÃÂka District. The Democratic Fellowship of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMDK) won majority victories in Subotica and BaÃÂka Topola, while an alliance of the VMDK, Democratic Movement of Serbia, and the Reform Democratic Party of Vojvodina won a majoirty victory in Mali IÃÂoà ¡.
The VMDK split in 1994, and several prominent members left to form the breakaway Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMSZ). In Subotica and Mali IÃÂoà ¡, most leading members of the VMDK joined the new party, and there was little disruption within the local administrations. The situation in BaÃÂka Topola was different: the VMDK initially formed a new administration without the VMSZ, but in December 1994 a coalition including the VMSZ came to power, and the VMDK was left in opposition.
The Socialist Party joined the municipal administrations of BaÃÂka Topola and Mali IÃÂoà ¡ in 1994.
Results of the election for the Municipal Assembly of Subotica:
Only parties or alliances that won representation in the assembly are listed. When the assembly convened on 12 January 1993, incumbent mayor József Kasza of the Democratic Fellowship of Vojvodina Hungarians was confirmed for another term in office with the support of fifty out of the sixty delegates who were present. Incumbent deputy mayor Stanka Kujundà ¾iàof the Democratic Alliance of Croats in Vojvodina was also confirmed for another term in office, as was incumbent chair of the executive committee Imre Kern, who was elected as an independent (Citizens' Group) candidate. Ilija à  ujica, an ethnic Serb who was elected with a dual endorsement from the Coalition for Subotica and a citizens' group, was also appointed as a deputy mayor in May 1994 in a bid to ensure Serb representation in the administration.
The Democratic Fellowship of Vojvodina Hungarians experienced a serious split in 1994, and Kasza and Kern joined the breakaway Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians, which became an official party the following year. Both continued to serve in their respective offices.

Only parties or alliances that won representation in the assembly are listed.
When the new assembly convened on 20 January 1993, incumbent mayor János Kószó was confirmed for a new term in office, and Zoltán Turuc was chosen as chair of the assembly's executive committee. Both were members of the Democratic Fellowship of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMDK). Stevan Rankov, the delegate elected from the Democratic Movement of Serbia (DEPOS), was chosen as deputy mayor on 29 January 1993.
The VMDK split in 1994, and both Kószó and Turuc affiliated with the breakaway Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMSZ). Most VMDK delegates in the assembly remained with the party, however, and in June 1994 Kószó and Turuc were removed from office and replaced with János Agyánszki and Laszló Januskó, respectively. The Socialists also participated in the new government.
The VMDK-led administration fell on 28 December 1994, and a new administration came to power that was supported by the VMSZ, the Socialists, Stevan Rankov, and the independent delegates. Zoltán Turuc was chosen as mayor, and Milan Saviàof the Socialists was chosen as chair of the executive committee; both received the support of twenty-seven delegates. The VMDK was excluded from the new administration.
Results of the election for the Municipal Assembly of Mali IÃÂoà ¡:
Only parties or alliances that won representation in the assembly are listed.
When the new assembly met on 19 January 1993, the Socialist Party of Serbia representatives proposed László Horváth, local leader of the Democratic Fellowship of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMDK), for mayor. He declined the nomination. Incumbent mayor Károly Pál of the Reform Democratic Party of Vojvodina was then confirmed for a new term in office, with thirteen delegates supporting his candidacy and twelve opposed. Ljiljana Petriàwas reappointed as president of the executive council, receiving the support of twelve delegates, with one spoiled ballot and two votes against. Horváth was chosen as a member of the executive council on 8 February 1993. In 1994, Milan Stevoviàof the Socialist Party succeeded Petriàas executive council president.
The VMDK experienced a serious split in 1994, with several members joining the breakaway Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMSZ). László Horváth joined the new party, as did Károly Pál. Both remained in their respective municipal offices.
Results of the election for the Municipal Assembly of Kikinda:
Only parties or alliances that won representation in the assembly are listed. When the assembly convened on 18 January 1993, Rajko PopoviÃÂ of the Socialist Party was the only nominee for mayor. The election took place via an open ballot; the opposition delegates boycotted the vote on the grounds that potential dissidents within the Socialist majority were not permitted to freely express their choice. Unsurprisingly, PopoviÃÂ was elected to the role.
Popoviàwas dismissed from office on 30 July 1996, having lost the support of several delegates in his own party. à ½ivodarka Dacin of the Socialists was chosen as his successor, and Rade MarÃÂeta was chosen as deputy mayor.
Rajko MatoviÃÂ of the Socialist Party was identified as president of the assembly's executive council in a March 1996 news report. It is unclear if he continued to serve in this office after Dacin succeeded PopoviÃÂ as mayor.

Rudolf Surányi was chosen as mayor when the assembly convened on 21 January 1993, while incumbent deputy mayor Ferenc Gruber and incumbent executive council president János Bozsóki were confirmed for new terms in their respective offices. All were members of the Democratic Fellowship of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMDK).
The VMDK experienced a serious split in 1994, with several members ultimately leaving to form the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMSZ). Surányi, Gruber, and Bozsóki all joined the new party, which replaced the VMDK as the dominant Hungarian party in the municipality.
Results of the election for the Municipal Assembly of ÃÂoka:
Only parties or alliances that won representation in the assembly are listed. The seat totals do not provide a full picture of the assembly's composition: in practice, the Democratic Fellowship of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMDK) had the support of fifteen delegates, as did an alliance comprising the Socialist Party, the Radical Party, and most Citizens' Group delegates. Andrija Poljak of the Democratic Movement of Serbia (DEPOS) was the "swing vote," not formally aligned with either camp.
Tensions were high when the municipal assembly met on 26 January 1993. Ferenc Lakatos, as the oldest delegate, presided over the assembly on a provisional basis. The first two attempts to elect to a mayor ended in failure: both the Socialist Party nominee Mirko Stojkov (who served as mayor in the previous term) and the VMDK nominee Miklós Ribár received fifteen votes. After a break in the proceedings, the VMDK made an agreement with the DEPOS delegate. When the session resumed, György Berkovits was elected as mayor and József Fehér as deputy mayor, both by votes of sixteen to fifteen.
On 12 February 1993, the assembly held an emergency meeting and annulled the results of the 26 January vote; Poljak was persuaded to change his vote following pressure from the Socialist Party's bloc. There were tensions between Serb and Hungarian representatives at this meeting, although some delegates from both communities made efforts to calm the situation. The assembly did not elect a new mayor, and Stojkov, as the outgoing mayor from the previous term, returned to the position on a provisional basis.
Further attempts to resolve the standoff were not successful, and on 22 May 1993 the Serbian government appointed a five-member council, chaired by Stojkov, to govern the municipality.
Results of the election for the Municipal Assembly of Kanjià ¾a:
Only parties or alliances that won representation in the assembly are listed. One of the independent candidates elected to the assembly was actually a member of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), and another was a member of the Serbian Radical Party (SRS).
When the assembly convened on 21 January 1993, István Bacskulin was elected as mayor, while Lajos Forró was chosen as deputy mayor and chair of the executive committee. Both were members of the Democratic Fellowship of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMDK).
On 25 February 1994, Forró was replaced by Imre Majorosi, also of the VMDK. The new executive committee approved on the same day included Vladimir à  upiàof the Socialists.
The VMDK experienced a serious split in 1994, and several leading members left to form the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMSZ). Bacskulin became a member of the new party, while Majorosi appears to have remained with the VMDK. This does not appear to have significantly affected the operations of the local government.
Imre Majorosi requested to be removed as executive committee president on 19 March 1996, citing poor health. He was replaced by Mgr. János Dobos of the VMSZ.
Incumbent Novi Kneà ¾evac mayor Duà ¡an JanÃÂiàof the Socialist Party of Serbia was confirmed for another term in office after the election.
Results of the election for the Municipal Assembly of Senta:
Only parties or alliances that won representation in the assembly are listed.
When the assembly convened on 20 January 1993, incumbent mayor Gábor Tóth Horti and incumbent executive committee chair Ferenc Szà ±cs were chosen for new terms in their respective offices. János Zámborszki was chosen as deputy mayor. All were members of the Democratic Fellowship of Vojvodina Hungarians.
The VMDK experienced a serious split in 1994, and several leading members left to form the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (VMSZ). Tóth Horti became a prominent member of the new party. Zámborszki, whose term as deputy mayor seems to have ended before 1995, remained with the VMDK. Szà ±cs, who served his full term in office, left the VMDK but does not seem to have formally aligned himself with the VMSZ.
Results of the election for the Municipal Assembly of Novi Sad:
Only parties or alliances that won representation in the assembly are listed. The Democratic Movement of Serbia, the Democratic Party, and the Reform Democratic Party of Vojvodina each won eight seats.
The Serbian Radical Party and the Socialist Party of Serbia formed a coalition government after the election. When the assembly convened on 13 January 1993, Ferenc Papp, the oldest delegate and also the sole elected member of the Democratic Fellowship of Vojvodina Hungarians, presided over the assembly on a provisional basis. Milorad MirÃÂiàof the Serbian Radical Party was elected as mayor, defeating opposition candidate ÃÂorÃÂe Baà ¡iàby a vote of forty-five to twenty-four. Igor Miroviàof the Radicals and Milorad ÃÂurÃÂeviàand Dragan Nedeljkoviàof the Socialists were elected as deputy mayors, and Obrad Miloà ¡eviàof the Socialists was chosen over Mihajlo Svilar of the Democratic Movement of Serbia to become chair of Novi Sad's executive committee.
In June 1994, a group of SPS delegates brought forward a motion to remove MirÃÂiàas mayor. With the support of the opposition parties, the motion succeeded. In retaliation, the SRS brought forward a motion to remove Obrad Miloà ¡eviàas chair of the executive committee; Miloà ¡eviàresigned before the vote could take place. Due to the divided nature of the assembly, both positions initially remained vacant. There was an attempt to elect a new mayor in September 1994, but neither of the two candidates received enough votes. Milorad ÃÂurÃÂeviàof the Socialist Party was Novi Sad's acting mayor during this period.
The Socialists ultimately made an informal alliance with the Reform Democratic Party in January 1995 and, despite having less than one-third of the seats in the assembly, established a new local government in which they held almost all of the most important positions. ÃÂuro BajiÃÂ of the SPS was chosen as Novi Sad's mayor on 26 January 1995, defeating Democratic Party candidate Predrag Filipov by thirty-seven votes to twenty-seven, with one invalid ballot. Jovo IliÃÂ, a Citizens' Group delegate, was chosen as a deputy mayor with the support of thirty-six delegates. Zoran StankoviÃÂ of the Reform Democratic Party also ran for a deputy mayor position but, with only thirty-five votes, fell one vote short of the required amount. (All candidates for city government positions required the support of thirty-six delegates, or fifty per cent plus one of the full assembly, to be elected.) Luka ZoriÃÂ was chair of the executive committee at this time.
Incumbent mayor Ljubomir NovakoviÃÂ of the Socialist Party of Serbia was confirmed for a new term in office after the election.
Juraj ÃÂervenak, who was elected as a member of the Reform Democratic Party of Vojvodina, served as mayor after the election.

After some delays in establishing the local government, Radivoje Grandov became the mayor on 19 March 1993, while Miroslav PavloviÃÂ was chosen as deputy mayor. Nada Kirbus became president of the executive board. All were members of the Socialist Party of Serbia.
The local Socialist organization was extremely divided in this period, and on 14 September 1993 Kirbus was removed from office by hardline elements in her own party.
