History
It contested the 2014 parliamentary elections as part of a joint list with the centrist Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and centre-left Social Democratic Union (SDU), but the alliance received only 3.4% of the vote, failing to win a seat.[https://web.archive.org/web/20140325225328/http://www.rik.parlament.gov.rs/cirilica/Rezultati/Izbori2014Karte.pdf 2014 Elections] Republic Electoral Commission
In the 2016 parliamentary elections it ran alone, winning two seats.[http://www.b92.net/info/vesti/index.php?yyyy=2016&mm=05&dd=05&nav_category=11&nav_id=1128062 RIK stavio tačku: Ovo su konačni rezultati izbora].
