This report provides an overview of the prospects and problems in carrying out Serbia’s reform agenda in the light of Serbia's electing a new president in June 2004 after three failed attempts since 2002. The author argues that obstacles on the reform path remain, including Serbia's lack of national consensus about interpreting and addressing the consequences of its past, Kosovo and cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), further reform of the country’s judiciary and security apparatus, the battle against organized crime and widespread corruption and the complicated and politically explosive trials of Zoran Djindjic’s alleged assassins.
