TheSerbian Right (Serbian:Српска десница,romanized: Srpska desnica, abbr.SD) is afar-rightpolitical party inSerbia. The party was founded in 2018 byMiša Vacić.[2] The party has been accused of being a satellite of the rulingSerbian Progressive Party (SNS).[3]
Serbian Right was founded in January 2018.Miša Vacić, a former spokesman of the1389 Movement was elected first president of the party, and former parliamentarianSaša Dujović was chosen as its deputy president. The congress was attended by 150 delegates. Among the guests at this ceremony wereMilenko Jovanov, vice-president of the SNS Main Board, Branislav Puhalo, former security chief ofRatko Mladić, as well as singerMarko Bulat.[2][4]
Miša Vacić stated that the party was founded to help Serbia and its institutions both in resolving the issue ofKosovo, and in everything that is important for the survival of theSerbs and that the Serbian Right will support the initiative of the PresidentAleksandar Vučić to open adialogue on the status of Kosovo and Metohija and that they expect an invitation for active participation in the dialogue.[2]
The party has been accused of being a satellite of the rulingSerbian Progressive Party (SNS). It automatically received access and positive treatment in the pro-government yellow press and television, where only the Progressives and their allies have such a privilege.[3] Vacić gave a speech inŠabac which at that time was one of the few cities in Serbia controlled by the opposition and he said that he would "push MayorZelenović and his criminals downCer into the SerbianDrina and strangle him", and that he would build a prison in which he would be exposed and spat at.[3] The days before the local elections inMedveđa were marked by very debatable pre-election actions of the representatives of the Serbian Right, and the most public attention was attracted by the presence of members of this party in the premises where ballot papers are printed, as well as by publishing recordings of the whole process on social networks.[5]
On 16 November 2023 the U.S. Department of State sanctioned Miša Vacić pursuant to E.O. 14024 for being responsible by working with the Government of the Russian Federation by acting as an observer in Russia’s sham referendums for purported annexation of the Russia-occupied regions of Ukraine in September 2022.[6]
