For a European Future ({{langx|mk|За европска иднина|Za evropska idnina}}, {{langx|sq|Për të ardhme evropiane}}) is the current name of the political alliance in North Macedonia led by the Social Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM).

History

The SDSM has contested most parliamentary elections since 1994 as part of a coalition led by the party. In the 1994 elections it formed the "Alliance for Macedonia" alongside the Liberal Party and Socialist Party. For the 2002 and 2006 parliamentary elections it formed {{ill|Together for Macedonia|mk|За Македонија заедно}}. The 2008 elections were contested as {{ill|Sun – Coalition for Europe|mk|СОНЦЕ. Коалиција за Европа}}.

For the 2016 parliamentary elections the alliance was named "For Life in Macedonia". For the 2020 elections it became "We Can! More and Better".

On 27 March 2024 SDSM and its partners established the "For a European Future" coalition.{{cite web |title=SDSM and coalition partners establish ‘Coalition for European Future’ |url=https://mia.mk/en/story/sdsm-and-coalition-partners-establish-%E2%80%98coalition-for-european-future |website=MIA |date=27 March 2024}}{{cite web |title=In 2028, the European dream will come true - Kovacevski established the "Coalition for the European Future" |url=https://www.slobodenpecat.mk/en/vo-2028-kje-se-ostvari-evropskiot-son-kovachevski-ja-formirashe-koalicijata-za-evropska-idni/ |website=Sloboden Pecat |date=27 March 2024}} SDSM considered the coalition capable of ensuring the EU membership of North Macedonia.{{cite web |title=Serbian Party of Macedonia joins SDSM’s ‘Coalition for European Future’ |url=https://mia.mk/en/story/serbian-party-of-macedonia-joins-sdsms-%E2%80%98coalition-for-european-future |website=MIA |date=29 March 2024}} The coalition won 18 seats in the 2024 elections.{{cite web |author1=Łukasz Kobeszko |title=North Macedonia: the right returns to power |url=https://www.osw.waw.pl/en/publikacje/analyses/2024-05-15/north-macedonia-right-returns-to-power |website=Centre for Eastern Studies |date=15 May 2024}}
