A number of top officials of the Serb Radical Party (SRS) have been replaced in an ongoing "reshuffle" that some have expressed dissatisfaction with. However, a majority believes that the inter-party elections have taken place "in a fair and democratic atmosphere" and that they do not represent "sackings", Tanjug is reporting. Radicals "reshuffle" ranks in wake of elections fiasco The round of new appointments has not been finalized, and is taking place in the wake of the worst election results of the Radicals in the past 20 years. The party won less than five percent of the votes in the May 6 parliamentary ballot and will not be represented in the country's new parliament. Former SRS Vice President Aleksandar Martinovic, who was at one point the party's likely candidate in the presidential election and was described as "the future of the Radicals", has left its top ranks over what he claims was "a disagreement over personnel solutions". The only vice-president who held on to his role, Zoran Krasic, has said that the process is yet to finish, and that party leader Vojislav Seselj made the relevant decisions - "after extensive consultations". The party's Central Homeland Administration met on Saturday to elect Krasic, Vjerica Radeta, Dejan Mirovic and Nemanja Sarovic as new vice-presidents, on a proposal submitted by Seselj. Seselj's former deputy Dragan Todorovic is no longer a member of the party's top ranks. Gordana Pop Lazic, Natasa Jovanovic, Milorad Mircic, Boris Aleksic, Paja Momcilov and Lidija Vukicevic also no longer hold important party roles. SRS MPs are seen in parliament (file) Tanjug
