The Socialist Party of Serbia (Serbian Cyrillic: Социјалистичка партија Србије, romanized: Socijalistička partija Srbije, SPS) is a political party in Serbia. It is led by Ivica Dačić. It was founded in 1990 as a merger of the League of Communists of Serbia and Socialist Alliance of Working People of Yugoslavia with Slobodan Milošević as its first president. In the 1990 general elections, SPS won 194 out of 250 seats in the National Assembly while Milošević was elected president of Serbia. The following year, mass protests were organised in Belgrade, while Milošević stepped down as president of SPS; he returned as president in 1992. After the break-up of Yugoslavia in 1992, Serbia became a part of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and SPS contested in its first parliamentary election which was boycotted by the opposition. Simultaneously, general elections were organised in Serbia; SPS won 101 seats while Milošević remained president. After this election, SPS relied on the far-right Serbian Radical Party (SRS) until the 1993 election; the coalition between SPS and SRS was disintegrated, and SPS instead formed a coalition government with the New Democracy (ND). This coalition was later expanded in 1996, when the Yugoslav Left (JUL) joined to form the Left Coalition. ND abandoned the coalition after SPS and JUL formed a government with SRS in 1998, which was then defeated by the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS) in the 2000 general election. The results of the election, which were contested by DOS, led to mass protests, which then culminated into the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević. More information...
