The Democratic Serb Party (sr|Демократска српска странка, Demokratska srpska stranka; '''DSS''') is a minor conservative political party in Montenegro, representing the Serbs of Montenegro.
The Democratic Serb Party was formed in 2003 following a split from the Serb People's Party led by Božidar Bojović, who was the first party president, and Ranko Kadić, first vice president and his subsequent successor.[1]
At the legislative elections held in March 2009, DSS formed a pre-election coalition with the People's Party, but the coalition failed to gain parliamentary status, winning 2,9% of the votes, just below the 3% electoral threshold. At the next election DSS participated in a nationalist coalition Serb National Alliance along with Party of Serb Radicals and Serb National Alliance, which won only 0,85% of votes. In August 2016, the party joined the right-wing Democratic Front (DF) for the 2016 election, and supported ZBCG list for 2020 election.[2]
