Parliamentary elections are to be held in Serbia on 6 May 2012 to elect members of the National Assembly. The elections are being held simultaneously with provincial, local, and presidential elections. The 2008 parliamentary elections resulted in the formation of a new pro-European government on 7 July 2008. The opposition, the Serbian Radical Party (SRS), had a split after the elections. The Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) party broke off and is headed by Tomislav Nikolic and Aleksandar Vucic, both of whom were major figures in the SRS before the establishment of the SNS in late 2008. In most opinion polls they and Democratic Party (DS) remain the two most popular parties, in combination gaining at least 60 percent of the total vote when combined. Other parties remain far behind, struggling to even attain double digit popularity figures. Who will form the next government of Serbia as the country continues its journey as a young democracy?
