Although Yugoslav Deputy Prime Minister Miroljub Labus, who received about a million votes in September's presidential elections, will be the new party's president, analysts say it cannot count on receiving the same amount of votes.That's because in past elections, Labus was supported by Serbian Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic's Democratic Party (DS), as well as by the parties of national minorities.
Тоа е затоа што на минатите избори, Лабус беше поддржан од Демократскиот сојуз (ДС) на српскиот премиер Зоран Ѓинfиќ, како и од партиите на националните малцинства.
