The Party of Freedom and Justice (Serbian: Странка слободе и правде, romanized: Stranka slobode i pravde, abbr.
In late 2021, SSP and Narodna returned together with the Movement of Free Citizens and Democratic Party to form the United for the Victory of Serbia (UZPS) alliance, which was officially formalised in February 2022, to take part in the 2022 general election.
SSP has criticised Chinese investments into infrastructure and it had adopted a platform in which they pledged "reconciliation, cooperation, and the acceptance of diversity" between countries in the Balkans.
[11] Alongside ZEP–Zeleni, the Serbian Left (LS), a political party led by Stefanović, and ten movements and individuals merged to create SSP.
[19] After the June 2020 parliamentary election, SZS was dissolved and subsequently transformed into the United Opposition of Serbia (UOPS), in which SSP also took part.
[20][21] However, UOPS remained unstable; SSP announced in December 2020 that it would form a joint platform with the PSG regarding the inter-party dialogues on electoral conditions.
[28] After leaving the dialogues, SSP renewed its cooperation with Narodna, which led to the announcement that they would take part in a coalition for the 2022 general election.
[29][30] In November 2021, it was announced that Tepić would be the ballot representative of the joint coalition, which was mainly composed of SSP, Narodna, PSG, and the Democratic Party (DS).
[35] This coalition was formalised in February 2022 under the name United for the Victory of Serbia (UZPS), when Ponoš was confirmed to be their joint presidential candidate.
[46][47][48] Đilas was re-elected president of SSP in July 2022, while Stefanović, Tepić, and Bulatović retained their positions; Goran Petrović and Dušan Nikezić also became vice-presidents of the party.
[49][50] Bulatović however left SSP and the Ujedinjeni parliamentary group in December 2022, claiming that Tepić allegedly lobbies for the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).
[74] They were followed by Sonja Pernat and Irena Živković in November; Veselinović announced the formation of a new political party before 2025.
[76] At the founding convention in April 2019, Đilas stated that SSP would focus on economic prosperity and education, and that it would adopt a declaration of reconciliation regarding the Kosovo issue.
[78][79] Describing itself as an anti-corruption party, SSP proposed a law regarding the "fight against corruption of public officeholders" (borbu protiv korupcije javnih funkcionera) in November 2019; Tepić noted that the proposal was written on the model of practice of former Romanian anti-corruption prosecutor Laura Kövesi.
[82] Ideologically, SSP has been described as a social democratic party,[83][84][85][86] and it is positioned on the centre-left on the political spectrum.
[96] SSP supports financing free textbooks and school meals for school children in Serbia;[97][98] in September 2022, SSP also said that "with the reduction of corruption and abolishment of unnecessary projects, enough money would be collected to finance free schoolbooks and higher salaries for educators" (ukoliko bi se smanjila korupcije i ukinuli nepotrebni projekti, prikupilo dovoljno para za finansiranje besplatnih udženika i većih plata za prosvetne radnike).
[100] Đilas also stated that he is opposed to neoliberalism, calling it "not just wrong, but life-threatening" (neoliberalna ideologija ne samo pogrešna, već i opasna po život).
[101] Critical of duty-free trade with China, SSP has said that it "brings long-term consequences to the Serbian economy, jobs, and working standards".
[115] In November 2022, SSP proposed a resolution that would align Serbia's foreign policy with the European Union and implement sanctions on Russia.
[124] SSP condemned the Srebrenica genocide, stating that "11 July should be the remembrance of the Srebrenica victims" (11. jul treba da bude posvećen srebreničkim žrtvama), and that "the Balkans should function on the principles of tolerance and cooperation" (Balkan koji funkcioniše na principima tolerancije i saradnje).
[128] Jelena Milošević, an SSP member of parliament, claimed that Kurti's government is authoritarian and violated rights of Kosovo Serbs.
[129] According to a Heinrich Böll Foundation research from November 2020, supporters of SSP saw themselves as socially progressive and economically leftist.
[139] In the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, SSP is represented by Tatjana Pašić, who sits in the Socialists, Democrats and Greens Group, while in the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities, SSP was previously represented by Marko Dimić, who was a substitute and sat as a "non-registered" member.
