The Independent Democratic Group, (Serbo-Croatian: Слободни демократски српски клуб/Nezavisni demokratski klub or NDK) is a parliamentary group in the National Assembly of Republika Srpska.
The group was formed on 30 November 2018, following the expulsion of several prominent members of the DNS.
Former vice-president of the party and President of the National Assembly, Nedeljko Čubrilović, quit the DNS after the 2018 Republika Srpska general elections. The defection was the culmination of long-term disputes with the party leadership, with Čubrilović claiming that party president Marko Pavić was intending to end the party's alliance with the governing SNSD and "move to the opposition".[1]
Such resignations came in extraordinary fashion, with Čubrilović calling DNS deputies "faggots, junkies and criminals".[2] It was announced shortly thereafter that the rebel deputies would form their own party, the Democratic Union (abbreviated as DEMOS), with Čubrilović as its first president.[3] Despite this, the NDK continues to serve as the parliamentary group for the DEMOS members, even though the NDK members are able to form a parliamentary group bearing the new party's name.
