TheSerbian People's Party (Serbian:Српска народна партија,romanized: Srpska narodna partija, abbr.SNP) is aright-wing populist andnational-conservativepolitical party inSerbia. It was formed in 2014 by former members of theDemocratic Party of Serbia and is currently led byNenad Popović.
The SNP was founded in September 2014 in the village ofKriva Reka in theZlatibor region. Its founding members included Popović,Jovan Palalić,Milan Stamatović (who left the party two years later), and the political philosopherBogdana Koljević.[4]
The party's first member of the assembly was Milan Petrić, who had been elected on the list of theDemocratic Party in the2014 election and joined the SNP in March 2015.[5] The SNP subsequently contested the2016 election on theSerbian Progressive Party'sAleksandar Vučić – Serbia Is Winningelectoral list and elected three members to the assembly:Jovan Palalić,Ognjen Pantović, andSnežana Petrović.
Popović, who has been the SNP's leader since its founding, was appointed to a ministerial position in thefirst cabinet of Ana Brnabić on 29 June 2017 and served until 2022. In 2024, he was once again appointed as a minister in thecabinet of Miloš Vučević.
SNP is aright-wing populist[6] and anational-conservative party.[7] On the political spectrum, it sits on the right-wing.[8] Popović has advocated for a border fence on Serbia's border withNorth Macedonia to reduce illegal immigration.[9] He has also opposed allowing LGBTQ content in children's books in Serbia.[10]
Onforeign policy, the party typically favoured improved ties between Serbia andRussia, but it condemned the2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, describing it as a violation of Ukrainian territorial integrity.[11][12][13] The party also opposes Serbian membership in theEuropean Union if it requires concessions onKosovo.[7] Popović has expressed opposition toCatalonian independence, comparing the issue to Kosovo.[14]
