General elections were held in Serbia, a constituent federal unit of SFR Yugoslavia, in December 1990. The presidential elections and the first round of the parliamentary elections were held on 9 December, whilst a second round of the parliamentary elections was held on 23 December 1990. This was the last parliamentary election in Serbia where members were elected in single-member constituency seats; all subsequent elections have taken place under proportional representation.

Background

After World War II, the Communist Party consolidated power in Yugoslavia, transforming the country into a socialist state.[1][2] Each constituent republic had its own branch of the Communist party, with Serbia having the Communist Party of Serbia.[3] The federal Communist party would rename itself to the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (SKJ) at its 6th Congress in 1952.[4][5] Its branches did the same; the Communist Party of Serbia became League of Communists of Serbia (SKS).[6][7]
