The Serbian Left (Serbian Cyrillic: Српска левица, romanized: Srpska levica, abbr. SL) is a political party in Serbia. It was established in January 2022, as a direct successor of the Communist Party.

History

The Serbian Left (SL) was formed in January 2022.[1] It planned to contest the 2022 Serbian parliamentary election, but it ultimately did not.[1] According to Milojičić, the party is in opposition to the Aleksandar Vučić and Serbian Progressive Party (SNS)-led government, although Broz still served in the Socialist Party of Serbia parliamentary group after SL was formed.[2][3] For the 2023 Serbian parliamentary election, SL will participate on the SNS electoral list.[4]

Organisation

Its leader is Radoslav Milojičić, former Democratic Party member of the National Assembly,[1][5] while its honorary president is Joška Broz, former leader of the Communist Party.[6]
