The Serbian People's Party (Serbian: Српска народна партија, romanized: Srpska narodna partija, abbr. SNP) is a right-wing populist and national-conservative political party in Serbia. It was formed in 2014 by former members of the Democratic Party of Serbia and is currently led by Nenad Popović.
History
The SNP was founded in September 2014 in the village of Kriva Reka in the Zlatibor region. Its founding members included Popović, Jovan Palalić, Milan Stamatović (who left the party two years later), and the political philosopher Bogdana Koljević.[2]
The party's first member of the assembly was Milan Petrić, who had been elected on the list of the Democratic Party in the 2014 election and joined the SNP in March 2015.[3] The SNP subsequently contested the 2016 election on the Serbian Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić – Serbia Is Winning electoral list and elected three members to the assembly: Jovan Palalić, Ognjen Pantović, and Snežana Petrović.
Popović, who has been the SNP's leader since its founding, was appointed to a ministerial position on 29 June 2017.
Ideology and platform
SNP is a right-wing populist[4] and a national-conservative party.[5] On the political spectrum, it sits on the right-wing.[6] Popović has advocated for a border fence on Serbia's border with North Macedonia to reduce illegal immigration.[7] He has also opposed allowing LGBTQ content in children's books in Serbia.[8]
On foreign policy, the party typically favoured improved ties between Serbia and Russia, but it condemned the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, describing it as a violation of Ukrainian territorial integrity.[9][10][11] The party also opposes Serbian membership in the European Union if it requires concessions on Kosovo.[5] Popović has expressed opposition to Catalonian independence, comparing the issue to Kosovo.[12]
SNP has cooperated with Identity and Democracy members, such as National Rally, the Freedom Party of Austria, Alternative for Germany, Vlaams Belang and Lega, as well as with other conservative parties such as Fidesz, Vox, the Slovenian Democratic Party, the U.S. Republican Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party.[13][14][15][16][17]
