2006 Serbian local elections
A small number of municipalities in Serbia held local elections in 2006 for mayors, assembly members, or both. These were not part of the country's regular cycle of local elections but instead took place in certain jurisdictions where either the local government had fallen or the term of the municipal assembly had expired. Serbia had introduced the direct election of mayors in 2002. This practice was abandoned with the 2008 Serbian local elections, but it was still in effect in 2006, and some mayor by-elections took place during the year. The constituent municipalities of  Belgrade did not have directly elected mayors, and in these jurisdictions mayors were chosen by the elected assembly members. All assembly elections were held under proportional representation with a three per cent electoral threshold. Results. Belgrade. Barajevo.
