History
[
edit

Background and formation
[
edit
]
Milo? Parandilovi?
was previously affiliated with the
Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia
(POKS), joining POKS once it split from the
Serbian Renewal Movement
in 2017.
[1]
He was a candidate in the
2020 parliamentary election
, however, POKS failed to cross the 3%
electoral threshold
.
[2]
[3]
POKS had a leadership dispute, that began in December 2021, and Parandilovi? sided with
?ika Gojkovi?
, who declined to leave the position of the president of POKS.
[4]
Parandilovi? was later featured on a
Dveri
?POKS list in the
2022 parliamentary election
and was successfully elected to the
National Assembly of Serbia
.
[5]
Following Gojkovi?'s decision to vote in favour of
Vladimir Orli?
, a member of the
Serbian Progressive Party
(SNS), becoming the president of the National Assembly of Serbia, Parandilovi? became critical of Gojkovi?, ultimately leaving Gojkovi?'s faction of members of the National Assembly formerly affiliated with POKS.
[6]
[7]
Parandilovi? announced the formation of a new movement on 23 September 2022 and presented it inside the National Assembly on 26 September as New Face of Serbia (NLS).
[8]
[9]
At the press conference on 26 September, he announced that NLS had members formerly affiliated with POKS, but also members of citizens' associations.
[8]
Following the formation of NLS, POKS members of local boards in
Jagodina
,
Valjevo
,
Ub
,
Lajkovac
, and
Bogati?
defected to NLS.

NLS (Parandilovi? on the far-left) was one of the signatories of the Agreement for Victory in September 2023
Following the
Belgrade school shooting
and the
Mladenovac and Smederevo shootings
in May 2023, NLS and Parandilovi? have taken part in the
Serbia Against Violence
protests.
[13]
[14]
In June 2023, NLS formed a local board in
Valjevo
.
[15]
After
Miroslav Aleksi?
left the
People's Party
and reconstituted the
People's Movement of Serbia
(NPS) in August 2023, Parandilovi? joined the four NPS members in the National Assembly to create a joint
parliamentary group
titled "People's Movement of Serbia?New Face of Serbia"; Parandilovi? became deputy chair of the parliamentary group.
[16]
The group was expanded in September 2023, when three
Ecological Uprising
members, led by
Aleksandar Jovanovi? ?uta
joined the parliamentary group, renaming it to "People's Movement of Serbia?Ecological Uprising?New Face of Serbia".
[17]
Parandilovi? participated at the signatory of the Agreement for Victory document in September 2023, which was signed by the organisers of the Serbia Against Violence protests.
[18]
In the same month, association "Natives" merged into NLS.
[19]
NLS became part of the
Serbia Against Violence
(SPN) coalition in October 2023, a coalition of political parties organising the 2023 protests.
[20]
SPN announced that it would contest the
parliamentary
,
Vojvodina provincial
, and
Belgrade City Assembly
elections, all scheduled for 17 December 2023.
[21]
[22]
In the parliamentary election, SPN won 65 seats, 2 of which went to NLS.
[23]
Ideology and platform
[
edit
]
NLS serves in opposition to SNS.
[8]
It is a self-described
conservative
and
centre-right
political party.
[24]
Parandilovi?, a self-described
monarchist
, has declared that NLS would too support the restoration of the monarchy, but that it would also support
youth rights
.
[8]
[25]
NLS members and Parandilovi? were present at a commemoration of youth members of the
Chetnik Student Battalion
who died in 1944 near
Bijeljina
.
[26]
NLS has declared its support for Serbian farmers.
[9]
NLS opposes the proposed
Ohrid Agreement
but it supports holding a referendum on the matter.
[27]
Parandilovi? has criticised
Russophilia
present amongst right-wing parties in Serbia and has cited
Konrad Adenauer
and
Charles de Gaulle
as role models.
[28]
Organisation
[
edit
]
Parandilovi? has led NLS since its formation in September 2022.
[9]
NLS elected him as president on 12 November, alongside vice-president
Ivan Matovi?
.
[29]
Its slogan is "Serbia deserves better".
[29]
Its headquarters is at Bulevar despota Stefana 80 in
Belgrade
.
[30]
NLS and the
Reformist Party
(RS) came to an agreement on 1 August 2023 to reconstitute RS as NLS in the registry of political parties, thus NLS skipped the collection of 10,000 signatures to become a registered political party.
[24]
[31]
Aleksandar Vi?nji?
, the president of RS, was announced as one of the vice-presidents of NLS.
[24]
