United Serbia (Serbian: Јединствена Србија, romanized: Jedinstvena Srbija; abbr. ЈС or JS) is a national-conservative political party in Serbia.

History[]

It was founded on 15 February 2004,[5] as a split from the far-right Party of Serbian Unity with Dragan Marković Palma elected as the leader on the first party assembly.[6] During its early years, the party had close relations with other right-wing parties such as New Serbia and Democratic Party of Serbia, even participating with them in the 2007 parliamentary election.[7] During the 2008 parliamentary election, they participated in a coalition around the Socialist Party of Serbia and supported the accession of Serbia into the European Union.[8][6]

United Serbia was the first to announce the beginning of talks with the coalition For a European Serbia, led by the President Boris Tadić, on forming the new government. The party leader is Dragan Marković, Mayor of Jagodina.

The United Serbia, including its leader Palma, supported the "Serbs for Trump" campaign and Donald Trump in the 2020 United States presidential election.[9]
