Английская Википедия:2018 Serbian local elections
A small number of cities and municipalities in Serbia held local elections in 2018. These were not part of the country's regular cycle of local elections but instead took place in certain jurisdictions where either the local government had fallen or the last local elections for four-year terms had taken place in 2014.
All local elections in Serbia in 2018 were held under proportional representation. Mayors were not directly elected but were instead chosen by elected members of the local assemblies. Parties were required to cross a five per cent electoral threshold (of all votes, not only of valid votes), although this requirement was waived for parties representing national minority communities.

Doljevac
Doljevac had a municipal election on 16 December 2018. The vote was precipitated by the resignation of the municipality's mayor, Goran Ljubić of the Progressive Party, on the grounds that he objected to the constant criticisms of Nenad Stojiljković (Dveri), the only opposition member of the previous assembly, and wanted to test the mood of the electorate. The election was boycotted by opposition parties and was criticized by some as a waste of money.[11][12] Ljubić served as the leader of Doljevac's provisional government in 2018–19, before a new administration was established.[13]
The results of the election were as follows:
Goran Ljubić was confirmed for a new term as mayor when the assembly convened in January 2019.[14] He resigned in January 2022 in order to harmonize that year's municipal election with the 2022 Serbian general election and was appointed as leader of an interim administration.[15]

The results of the election were as follows:
Nikola Vučen was confirmed as mayor after the election.[18]
