History
Five MPs that left the opposition parliamentary group Enough is Enough created their own movement Centre Movement in May 2018.[1] After negotiations with Social Democratic Alliance, they formed a new party, Party of Modern Serbia on 14 December 2018.[2] On 23 December new collective leadership was elected. The movement currently has 5 MPs in National Assembly and 3 in Vojvodina Assembly.[3][4][5] They also have representatives in Medijana, Valjevo, Rakovica, Zvedara and Stari Grad municipalities.[6] On 24 January one MP joined the Party of Modern Serbia, making the total number of seats in the Assembly 6.[citation needed]
The Party of Modern Serbia supported protests against president Aleksandar Vučić, and took a role in opposition negotiations in January and February 2019.[citation needed]
