Serbian Radical Party of Republika Srpska

The Serbian Radical Party of Republika Srpska (Serbian: Српска радикална странка Републике Српске/Srpska radikalna stranka Republike Srpske or СРС РС/SRS RS) was a Serb centre-right political party in Bosnia and Herzegovina, active in Republika Srpska. It was founded in 1992 by Nikola Poplašen, a former Serbian Democratic Party member. SRS RS has since affiliated itself with the Serbian Progressive Party, a pro-EU offshoot of the Serbian Radical Party established in 2008. In April 2019, most of the SRS's membership joined the Party of Democratic Progress (PDP), and the SRS de facto merged with the PDP.[2]
