The Serbian Radical Party (SRS) is a far-right, ultranationalist political party in Serbia, founded on June 23, 1991, by Vojislav Šešelj and Tomislav Nikolić as a splinter from the Serbian Renewal Movement. Led by Vojislav Šešelj since its inception, the party rose to prominence during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, advocating aggressive Serb nationalism and supporting paramilitary groups involved in conflicts in Croatia, Bosnia, and Kosovo. The party gained significant parliamentary representation in the 1990s under Slobodan Milošević's regime but later positioned itself in opposition, criticizing Western influence and NATO interventions. Ideologically, the SRS promotes Serb supremacy, anti-Western sentiments, opposition to Muslim immigration, rejection of Kosovo's independence, and opposition to EU and NATO integration, often employing inflammatory rhetoric against ethnic minorities and international bodies. The party has been accused of war crimes facilitation during the 1990s conflicts; Šešelj was indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in 2003 for crimes against humanity and was convicted in 2016 but released after serving partial sentence due to health issues. The SRS has faced criticism for ties to extremist elements, hate speech, revisionism regarding wartime atrocities, and ongoing allegations of corruption and financial opacity in party funding. Despite electoral declines post-2000s, the party maintains a presence in Serbian politics through parliamentary opposition, media outlets like 'Velika Srbija,' and youth organizations, influencing nationalist discourse.
