Civic Democratic Party (Serbia)
Serbian political party
The Civic Democratic Party (Serbian Cyrillic: Грађанска демократска партија, romanized: Građanska Demokratska Partija; abbr. ГДП / GDP) was a Serbian political party that existed from 2023 to 2024. It joined the Serbia Against Violence (SPN) coalition on 3 November 2023 and took part in Serbia's December 2023 elections.[1] Its leader was Dr. Miroslav Ilić.[2]
The GDP was closely associated with the Movement of Free Citizens (PSG). All GDP-endorsed candidates who were elected in the 2023 Serbian parliamentary election and the 2023 Belgrade City Assembly election were members of the PSG, and both of the GDP-endorsed candidates elected in the 2023 Vojvodina provincial election later joined the PSG. (The PSG was not a registered political party at the time of the 2023 elections and, from the standpoint of Serbia's electoral law, could not formally endorse its own candidates.)
The GDP merged outright into the Movement of Free Citizens after the 2023 elections, giving its party registration to the PSG.
