History

Established in early 2013, the party advocates close ties to the western powers and European integration.[5] The party contested the 2014 parliamentary election as part of a wider coalition of moderate parties led by the Democratic Party.[6] It formed a coalition with the Social Democratic Party led by former President of Serbia Boris Tadić for the 2022 general election.[7] In late April 2022, Movsesijan stepped down as party leader.[8] A month later, the party left the Liberal South East European Network.[9]

In July 2022, New Party merged with "Da se struka pita", in order to form New Party–D2SP.[10]
