When was the Democratic Party in Serbia formed?
Serbian Renewal Movement
The Democratic Movement of Serbia was formed in May 1992 as a political alliance made up primarily of SPO, New Democracy (ND), Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS). The political alliance however broke, and was dissolved in 1993. The SPO was part of the "Together" ("Zajedno") coalition in the 1996 parliamentary election which received 23.8% of the popular vote, losing to the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS). In 1997, Drašković ran twice for president but finished third in both elections. Its party won the third largest number of seats in that year's Serbian parliamentary elections. A dissident group inside the party abandoned the SPO and formed New Serbia (NS) in 1997.
Aleksandar Senić
The Democratic Party experienced a serious split in early 2014, with Boris Tadić setting up a breakaway group initially called the New Democratic Party. This group contested the 2014 election in a fusion with the Greens of Serbia and in alliance with other parties. Senić sided with Tadić in the split, was given the tenth position on the alliance's electoral list, and was elected to a second term when the list won eighteen mandates. Serbian Progressive Party and its allies won a majority of seats, and Tadić's group remained in opposition. The New Democratic Party was reconstituted as the Social Democratic Party later in 2014; Senić was considered a close confidante of Tadić at this time.
