History
Movement for Reversal was founded in 2015, by a Serbian academic Janko Veselinović, who decided to split from the Social Democratic Party, claiming that its leadership does not have a clear vision of how to counter the Serbian Progressive Party and the Socialist Party of Serbia.{{Cite web|title=JOŠ JEDNA STRANKA Osnovan Pokret za preokret!|url=https://informer.rs/vesti/politika/217066/jos-jedna-stranka-osnovan-pokret-preokret|access-date=15 June 2020|website=INFORMER|language=sr}}{{Cite web|title=Janko Veselinović|url=https://www.istinomer.rs/akter/janko-veselinovic/|access-date=15 June 2020|website=Istinomer|language=sr-RS}}
