Coalition Together
political party in Serbia
Coalition Together (Serbian: Коалиција Заједно, romanized: Koalicija Zajedno) was a major opposition coalition in Serbia and FR Yugoslavia between 1996 and 1997. Coalition members were Serbian Renewal Movement, Democratic Party, Civic Alliance of Serbia and Democratic Party of Serbia. They participated in 1996 Yugoslavian parliamentary election finishing second and winning nearly 24% of votes.
Coalition also took part in 1996 Serbian local elections and won most of the largest cities, including Belgrade, Niš, Novi Sad, Kragujevac, and more than 40 municipalities. This was first major blow to Slobodan Milošević's regime since he took power in 1989. Large protests erupted after Milošević refused to accept electoral defeat.
Coalition Together eventually fell apart after conflict between the two leaders, Vuk Drašković and Zoran Đinđić.

Why this record matters
“Coalition Together” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Coalition, Together and political provides the most credible route into that argument.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12752848. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1996, 1997 and 1989.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
