The United Regions of Serbia (Serbian: Уједињени региони Србије, romanized: Ujedinjeni regioni Srbije; abbr. УРС, URS) was a regionalist,[2] liberal-conservative[2] political party in Serbia. It was founded on 16 May 2010 as a political coalition, and became a unified political party on 21 April 2013.[3][4] The URS advocated decentralization and was pro-business.[5][6]
The URS received 5.51% of the popular vote in the 2012 parliamentary election. Following the election, the URS formed a coalition government with the Serbian Progressive Party and Socialist Party of Serbia. On 31 July 2013 the URS was ousted from the government and became opposition.[7]
On 13 November 2015 the party was removed from the register of political parties and ceased to exist, which was controversial because the party had over a million euros of unpaid debt. It had already been defunct for more than a year, according to the former president Mlađan Dinkić.[8] [9] Even though the party has been long gone, it has remained in the party register of Serbia since then.[10]
The URS was an associate member of the European People's Party.[11] In the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, URS was associated with the European People's Party.[12]
