And this is a shock WHY, exactly?

- The Radical Party (SRS) is the top political organization in Serbia, according to a poll by Medijum Galup. 30.7 per cent of respondents would vote for the SRS in the next legislative ballot.
The Democratic Party (DS) is second with 23.7 per cent, followed by the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) with 14.7 per cent, New Serbia (NS) with 5.5 per cent, and the G-17 Plus with five per cent. Support is lower for the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), the Serbia Renewal Movement (SPO), the Strength of Serbia Movement (SS) and the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
The remnants of the Yugoslav Federation were transformed into Serbia and Montenegro in February 2003. On May 21, Montenegro voted to establish "an independent state with full international and legal subjectivity" in a referendum.
The Radicals are currently the biggest party in the Serbian National Assembly with 82 lawmakers, but were unable to form a government after the parliamentary ballot. In March 2004, a coalition administration headed by Vojislav Kostunica of the DSS was established with the support of 130 legislators. In the June 2004 presidential election, DS candidate Boris Tadic defeated SRS nominee Tomislav Nikolic in a run-off.
Last month, Kostunica said Serbia would oppose Kosovo’s independence, even if this stance proves counterproductive for the country’s European Union (EU) membership aspirations, adding, "Serbia will reject a solution that takes Kosovo away from Serbia and, very importantly, will continue to consider Kosovo part of its territory."
