History

The Social Democratic Party of Serbia (SDPS) was formed on 5 October 2009 by Rasim Ljajić, the long-time leader of Sandžak Democratic Party.[1] Ljajić has been the president of SDPS since its formation.[1] In late 2013 SDPS had joined in coalition with the Sandžak Democratic Party, forming a political union. Rasim Ljajić was elected as the SDPS-SDP's first head.[2] Despite taking part with the Democratic Party-led Choice for a Better Life alliance in the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election, SDPS has aligned itself with the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) after the election.[1] Since then, it has contested every election on the SNS electoral list.[1]
