History
Established in early 2013, the party advocates close ties to the western powers and European integration.[6] The party contested the 2014 parliamentary election as part of a wider coalition of moderate parties led by the Democratic Party.[7] It formed a coalition with the Social Democratic Party led by former President of Serbia Boris Tadić for the 2022 general election.[8] In late April 2022, Movsesijan stepped down as party leader.[9]
