People's Movement of Serbia


The People's Movement of Serbia was a Serbian political party that existed from 2014 to 2017. Its leader was Miroslav Aleksić, who was also its only member in the National Assembly of Serbia. In October 2017, Aleksić allowed the party to be re-registered as the People's Party under the leadership of Vuk Jeremić.

Origins

Miroslav Aleksić was elected as mayor of Trstenik in 2012 as a candidate of the United Regions of Serbia party. He left the party in 2014 and was chosen as leader of the People's Movement of Serbia later in the year.

Electoral results

The party contested the 2016 parliamentary election as part of the Alliance for a Better Serbia list led by Boris Tadić and Čedomir Jovanović. Aleksić received the eighth position on the electoral list and was elected when the alliance won thirteen mandates.
The People's Movement of Serbia operated in a parliamentary alliance with Tadić's Social Democratic Party, which also contested the 2016 elections in the Alliance for a Better Serbia. Aleksić served as the parliamentary group's deputy leader. Both the alliance with the Social Democratic Party and Aleksić's deputy leadership of the parliamentary group continued after the party was restructured as the People's Party.
