BELGRADE, October 18, 2008 (AFP) - Two parties in Serbia's uneasy ruling coalition Saturday signed a reconciliation pact, the Beta news agency said, to buttress ties after months of political turmoil and years of mutual hostility. The Democratic Party (DS) of Serbian President Boris Tadic and the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) formerly led by late ruler Slobodan Milosevic said the agreement would put an end to past differences in the interests of the nation.

The agreement underscored a "common responsibility to create a democratic and free Serbia armed with a developed economy and justice.

"We would like to moot a platform for national reconciliation which will reunite all those who have Serbia's best interests at heart," it added.

Serbia held snap legislative elections on May 11 after the government collapsed in a split over ties with the European Union in the wake of Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence from Belgrade.

The pro-Western Tadic had argued that Belgrade could only defend its right to Kosovo if it joined the EU.

The DS and SPS in June then forged an accord to form an uneasy coalition to put an end to the political uncertainty.

The two parties had an acrimonious relationship for years which was exacerbated when former prime minister Zoran Djindjic from the DS played a major role in the arrest and deportation of Milosevic to The Hague for a war crimes trial.

Milosevic was forced to step down in 2000 after hundreds of thousands of Serbs took the streets and demanded he concede defeat in a Yugoslav presidential election after more than 10 years of autocratic rule.

Less than a year later, Milosevic was extradited to the UN war crimes tribunal to stand trial for crimes committed during the wars that broke up the Yugoslav federation, including genocide.

He died in 2006 of natural causes in his prison cell before the end of the trial.
