Serbias Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS, headed by Vojislav Kostunica) has negotiated a parliamentary deal with the G-17 Plus Party and The New Serbia Party. This coalition will now form a minority government. The Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO) will also join the coalition. This blocks former Serb dictator Slobodan Milosevic's Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS)from playing a king maker role. However, a subsequent report said the SPS may attempt to join the coalition.
