The Movement for Reversal (Serbian: Покрет за преокрет, romanized: Pokret za preokret) is a minor centre-left social democratic political organization in Serbia. The party's leader is Janko Veselinović, a professor at the University of Novi Sad, and one of the leaders of the United Opposition of Serbia.

History[]

Movement for Reversal was found 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.[1][2]

The organization participated in the 2016 Serbian parliamentary elections in a coalition along with the Serbian Left and the Social Democratic Union.[3] However, the coalition finished ninth with 0.94% of the votes and failed to pass the census.[4]

In 2018, the organization was one of the founding members of the major opposition coalition called the Alliance for Serbia.[5][6] The coalition boycotted the 2020 Serbian parliamentary elections.[7]
