The Liberals of Serbia (Либерали Србије, Liberali Srbije) is a liberal party in Serbia. It is a full member of Liberal International and a full member of the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party. It has participated both in Milošević's and democratic governments.
The party was originally founded in 1991, when the Social Democratic Youth League of Serbia (Coциjaлдeмokpaтcки caвез младих Cpбиje, Socijaldemokratski savez mladih Srbije) reconstituted itself as the New Democracy (Нова Демократија, Nova Demokratija). In 2003 the party was renamed Liberals of Serbia (Либерали Србије, Liberali Srbije).
When the Socialist Party of Serbia of Slobodan Milošević lost its majority in parliament, New Democracy, which had previously belonged to the opposition, joined his coalition and provided him with the parliamentary majority necessary to form a government. In 1998 New Democracy left government and was replaced in the governing coalition by Serbian Radical Party.
In 2000 New Democracy was a part of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia alliance, the candidate of which, Vojislav Koštunica, won the 2000 presidential elections. At the parliamentary election in the same year the party was a part of the same DOS alliance, and participated to the government which was formed by DOS.
At the last Serbian parliamentary election, 28 December 2003 Liberals of Serbia put up as candidates the former Serbian Interior Minister Dušan Mihajlović and the former Chief of Serbian Police, General Sreten Lukić, the latter indicted for war crimes in the ICTY. The party won 0.7 % of the popular vote and no seats.
