Election results

In the parliamentary elections on December 9, 1990, the SPO received 7.6% of the vote and 19 seats in parliament.

In 1992 she took part in a coalition with DEPOS in the elections and received 20% of the vote and 50 seats, 45 of which went to the SPO.

In 1993 she achieved 18% and 45 seats with DEPOS, 40 of which went to the SPO.

In the 1997 elections, in which she participated alone, she won 18% and 45 seats. That year, some members left the party and founded the Nova Srbija (New Serbia) party.

In 2000 the party did not exceed the minimum threshold with 3.3% of the vote and was not present in parliament.

On December 28, 2003, she formed a coalition with the Nova Srbija party and achieved 7.7% of the vote and 22 seats in the parliamentary elections, 13 of which went to the SPO.

At the end of 2004 there was a rift within the party when it pressed for Slobodan Milošević's old helpers to be removed from the police . Nine MPs left the party and founded the SDPO ( Srpski Demokratski Pokret Obnove ).

In the elections in January 2007, the party ran alone, but could not win any seats in parliament. In the 2008 elections she won 4 seats as part of the Democratic Party- led coalition “For a European Serbia”.

The party also takes part in local elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina , albeit with relatively little success. Their strongholds are in eastern Herzegovina.
