The National Democratic Alternative (Serbian: Национално демократска алтернатива, romanized: Nacionalno demokratska alternativa, abbr. NADA, transl. hope) is a national-conservative political coalition in Serbia, composed of the New Democratic Party of Serbia (NDSS) and Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia (POKS).

History

It was initially formed as a joint political platform between the two parties in January 2021,[6] although in May, it was expanded into a political coalition.[7] It is now made up of more than 20 citizens' associations.[8] Matija Bećković and Ljubinko Đurković expressed their support to the coalition.[9] Its presidential candidate for the 2022 election was Miloš Jovanović,[10] while its ballot carrier for the parliamentary election was retired general Božidar Delić.[11]

On 28 January 2022, Together for Šumadija, a minor political party from Kragujevac, joined the coalition.[12]
