The Russian Party (Serbian: Руска странка, romanized: Ruska stranka; Russian: Русская партия, romanized: Russkaya partiya) is a political party in Serbia that claims to represent the Russian ethnic minority.[2] The party gathers a number of pro-Russian citizens, mostly Serbs. The party's president is Slobodan Nikolić, a former vice-president of the People's Peasant Party.[3] The party competed in the 2023 parliamentary election in alliance with the New Communist Party of Yugoslavia.
According to its program, the Russian Party advocates Serbia's entry into the Eurasian Economic Union, and the full membership of Serbia in the Collective Security Treaty Organization.[4] The party also advocates increasing cooperation with the Russian Federation in the field of economy, culture and education.[5]
