Serbia 21 ({{lang-sr-cyrl|Србија 21|Srbija 21}}, abbr. S21) was a political organisation in Serbia. It was founded in early 2020 by former members of the Social Democratic Party (SDS) and Democratic Party (DS).
History
Marko Đurišić and Nenad Konstantinović were previously a part of the Social Democratic Party (SDS) but after the party stated that they will boycott the upcoming elections they decided to create a new political organisation which will participate in the next elections and which will also focus on the Serbian accession to the European Union.{{Cite web |date=2020-02-26 |title=Srbija 21 na izborima |url=https://rs.n1info.com/vesti/a572683-Srbija-21-na-izborima/ |access-date=2022-03-19 |website=N1 |language=sr-RS}} After some time they were also supported by Gordana Čomić of the Democratic Party (DS).{{Cite web |date=2020-02-27 |title="Srbija 21" izlazi na izbore, konferenciji prisustvovala i Gordana Čomić |url=https://rs.n1info.com/vesti/a573019-Srbija-21-izlazi-na-izbore-konferenciji-prisustvovala-i-Gordana-Comic/ |access-date=2022-03-19 |website=N1 |language=sr-RS}} The party participated in the 2020 parliamentary election, and they stated multiple times that "it is only possible to change the system and to remove Vučić from power if we participate in the elections".{{Cite web |date=2020-03-01 |title=Srbija 21 ide na izbore: Znamo kako se pobeđuje i menja vlast |url=https://rs.n1info.com/vesti/a573898-Srbija-21-ide-na-izbore-Znamo-kako-se-pobedjuje-i-menja-vlast/ |access-date=2022-03-19 |website=N1 |language=sr-RS}} Boris Tadić, the president of the Social Democratic Party, has classified the organisation as "Vučić's project".{{Cite web |date=2020-07-02 |title=Tadić neće sa Srbijom 21 |url=https://rs.n1info.com/vesti/a615791-Tadic-nece-sa-Srbijom-21/ |access-date=2022-03-19 |website=N1 |language=sr-RS}} By the time of the election, the organisation had two MPs and a joint parliamentary group with Vojvodina Front.{{Cite web |title=Formirana poslanička grupa Vojvođanski front-Srbija 21 |url=https://www.politika.rs/sr/clanak/453146/Politika/Formirana-poslanicka-grupa-Vojvodanski-front-Srbija-21 |access-date=2022-03-19 |website=Politika Online}}
