Its official title is the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including the Republics of Serbia and Montenegro. President Slobodan Milosevic, the leader of the Socialist Party, was re-elected to the presidency of Serbia in December 1992. At the same time a coalition government led by the Socialists was formed, but in autumn 1993, in an apparent attempt to rid himself of the need for support from radicals, President Milosevic dissolved the government and called for new elections. They were held in December 1993 and, although the Socialists gained most seats, the need for a coalition was not eliminated. Not long ago, all parties supported the concept of a Greater Serbia, to be achieved by uniting Serbian territories in Bosnia and Croatia.
