Local elections will be held in Serbia on 11 May 2008. According to the Constitutional Law adopted by the National Assembly on 30 September 2006 that proclaimed the new constitution, the parliamentary Speaker (currently Oliver Dulić from DS) had to schedule the elections for local administrative units by 31 December 2007. He scheduled them on 2007-12-29.

Negotiations between the ruling parties, the President's DS and the Premier's DSS, are going on to enact a compromise on the date of the election. Tadić's Democratic Party wanted to respect the constitutional law, wanting to schedule the election by the end of year and hold it in March 2008, which is DSS's demand because of the solution of the status of Kosovo. G17 Plus wants the Mayors and municipal Presidents to be elected directly as in the past, but the Democratic Party wants them to be elected by the local parliaments. One of the main reasons for this is because DS doesn't have a popular candidate to beat the Radical one for Mayor of Belgrade. Tadic's personal associate Jovanović is the potential candidate for the position, the plan being that he would be elected by the parliamentary majority.

Of the four laws necessary for the local elections (on territorial organisation, the capital, local elections and local self-government), all four have been passed.

Ever since the tragic death of Belgrade Mayor Nenad Bogdanović the Serb Radical Party has demanded parliamentary Speaker Oliver Dulic to schedule a Mayoral election, however Dulic says that that the Constitutional Law mandates him to schedule general local elections simultaneously.

The Law of Belgrade is nearing its completion. Both DS and DSS agree to elect a Mayor from the Civic Parliament, the most recent proposal is that Mayor of Belgrade is elected on a special assembly composed by all MPs from the 10 urban municipalities.
