Milan Milutinović

Presidential elections were held in the Yugoslav province of Serbia on 7 December 1997, following the annulment of the results of the September–October elections due to low voter turnout. As no candidate won over 50% of the popular vote in the first round, a runoff was scheduled for 21 December. The result was a victory for Milan Milutinović of the Socialist Party of Serbia, who defeated Vojislav Šešelj in the second round.
