      "title": "Serbia: 2004 Presidential Elections",
      "summary": "Serbia, the larger republic within the Serbia and Montenegro union, held presidential elections\non\nJune 13 and 27, 2004. While the actual powers of the republican presidency are not very extensive,\nthe election outcome was expected to signal the political direction of Serbia and its prospects for\ncloser relations with the international community. In the first round of voting, Tomislav Nikolic,\nleader of the extremist Serbian Radical Party, and Boris Tadic, candidate of the opposition\nDemocratic Party, came in first and second place in front of 13 other candidates. In the second\nround, Tadic defeated Nikolic, 54% to 45%. Calling the results a victory for \u201ca European\nfuture\u201d\nover radical nationalism, Tadic pledged to guide the country closer to European Union membership. \nHowever, Tadic\u2019s victory may trigger still more political changes, including early\nparliamentary\nelections.
