History

Party was created by a broken-off fraction of the Democratic Party (DS) in the aftermath of the 2012 elections after which president Boris Tadić lost to his opponent Tomislav Nikolić and inner arguments maintaint on resulting in early party elections and Tadic's withdrawal from the leadership, settling for an honorary presidential title, in favor of Belgrade mayor Dragan Đilas. A total of 7 MPs left the DS and founded in 2012 the "Together for Serbia" parliamentary club. Its leader is former minister Dušan Petrović.

At the 2014 election, ZZS teamed up with Boris Tadić's fraction of the DS in formation[1] and will run on the election in a coalition with the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina.[2]

In 2018, the Party was one of the founding members of the big tent opposition coalition called the Alliance for Serbia.[3][4][5] The alliance announced the 2020 Serbian parliamentary elections.[6]

In May 2019 ZZS formed a union with Democratic Party and Tadić's SDS. On 23 February of 2020, Together for Serbia announced that they will participate in the 2020 elections on local (municipal) level, shortly after that Alliance for Serbia's leadership commented that Together for Serbia disqualificated itself from the coalition.[7]
