Serb List

Serb List

Serb List (Serbian: Српска листа or "Srpska lista") is a political alliance in Montenegro. In contrast to other political coalitions, the Serb List is not simply a coalition of parties, but an entity on its own; for instance, the MPs elected on its list are not considered to represent the party they originally come from, but the Serb List.

At the last legislative elections in Montenegro, on September 10 2006, the party won 12 out of 81 seats. It is the strongest opposition list in the Parliament.

Besides the Serb People's Party of Montenegro, the coalition consists of various organizations and individuals which present themselves as protectors of the Serbs of Montenegro:
* Serb People's Party
* Party of Serb Radicals
* People's Socialist Party of Montenegro
* Democratic Party of Unity
* Serbian National Council
* Academic Alternative

Local cooperation also with the Socialist Party of Yugoslavia.

The List advocates special ties between Montenegro and Serbia, Serbian citizenship for Serbs in Montenegro, and protection of the Serbian language and Serbian Orthodox Church (its Montenegrin branch, the Metropolitanate of Montenegro and the Littoral) as the official language and church in Montenegro, respectively. It is currently the opposition alliance that holds most seats in Parliament of Montenegro.

In late 2007 the Serb list representative signed The Opposition charter, uniting with the Movement for Changes, the Socialist People's Party of Montenegro, the People's Party, the Democratic Serb Party, the Bosniak Party, the Albanian Alternative and the Democratic League in Montenegro into a standing bloc to oppose a Constitutional draft proposed and attempted to be imposed by the ruling DPS-SDP coalition. The Serb list fiercely opposes renaming the official language of the country from Serbian to Montenegrin.
