Politician Milošević appeared in the fourth position on the Radical Party's electoral list for the Čukarica division in the 1997 Serbian parliamentary election. The list won exactly four seats, and he was chosen for a mandate.Избори за народне посланике Народне скупштине одржани 21. и 28. септембра и 5. октобра 1997. године – ЗБИРНЕ ИЗБОРНЕ ЛИСТЕ (4 Чукарица), , Republic Election Commission, Republic of Serbia, accessed 7 February 2024.Избори за народне посланике Народне скупштине одржани 21. и 28. септембра и 5. октобра 1997. године – РЕЗУЛТАТИ ИЗБОРА (Извештај о укупним резултатима избора за народне посланике у Народну скупштину Републике Србије, одржаних 21. и 28. септембра и 5. октобра 1997. године (Избори за народне посланике Народне скупштине одржани 21. и 28. септембра и 5. октобра 1997.) године, , Republic Election Commission, Republic of Serbia, accessed 7 February 2024.PRVA SEDNICA, 03.12.1997., Otvoreni Parlament, accessed 24 January 2026. (From 1992 to 2000, Serbia's electoral law stipulated that one-third of parliamentary mandates would be assigned to candidates from successful lists in numerical order, while the remaining two-thirds would be distributed amongst other candidates at the discretion of the sponsoring parties.Guide to the Early Election , Ministry of Information of the Republic of Serbia, December 1992, made available by the International Foundation for Electoral Systems, accessed 14 July 2017. Milošević was not automatically elected by virtue of his list position, but he received a seat in the assembly all the same.) The Radicals won eighty-two seats in total, finishing second against the coalition around the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS). In early 1998, the SPS, SRS, and Yugoslav Left (JUL) formed a coalition government, and Milošević served as a supporter of the ministry.

Serbia's longtime leader Slobodan Milošević (no relation) fell from power on 5 October 2000, after losing the 2000 Yugoslavian presidential election to Vojislav Koštunica; this was a watershed moment in Serbian politics. Zoran Milošević ran for both the Belgrade city assembly and the Rakovica municipal assembly in the 2000 Serbian local elections, which took place concurrently with the Yugoslavian vote, and was defeated in both contests. The 2000 local election cycle was the last to take place with voting in single-member constituencies; all subsequent local elections have taken place under proportional representation.

The Serbian government fell after Slobodan Milošević's defeat in the Yugoslavian vote, and a transitional government took office pending a new Serbian parliamentary election later in the year; the new government did not include the Radicals, who moved into opposition. Serbia's electoral system was reformed prior to the vote, such that the entire country became a single at-large electoral division and all mandates were awarded to candidates on successful lists at the discretion of the sponsoring parties, irrespective of numerical order.Serbia's Law on the Election of Representatives (2000) stipulated that parliamentary mandates would be awarded to electoral lists (Article 80) that crossed the electoral threshold (Article 81), that mandates would be given to candidates appearing on the relevant lists (Article 83), and that the submitters of the lists were responsible for selecting their parliamentary delegations within ten days of the final results being published (Article 84).
