New Party–Experts Should Have A Say (Serbian: Нова странка–Да се струка пита|Nova stranka–Da se struka pita, abbr. Nova–D2SP) is a liberal political party in Serbia. It was founded in 2013 as the New Party by Zoran Živković, the former Prime Minister of Serbia and former member of the Democratic Party. Following the merger in 2022, Vladimir Kovačević became the party president.

History

Established in early 2013, the party advocates close ties to the western powers and European integration.[2] The party contested the 2014 parliamentary election as part of a wider coalition of moderate parties led by the Democratic Party.[3] It formed a coalition with the Social Democratic Party led by former President of Serbia Boris Tadić for the 2022 general election.[4] In late April 2022, Movsesijan stepped down as party leader.[5] A month later, the party left the Liberal South East European Network.[6]

In July 2022, New Party merged with "Da se struka pita" and the party was renamed to New Party–Experts Should Have A Say.[7]
