Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia
monarchist political party in Serbia
The Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia (Serbian: Покрет обнове Краљевине Србије, romanised: Pokret obnove Kraljevine Srbije, abbr. POKS) is a monarchist and national-conservative political party in Serbia. It was founded in 2017 after a split within the Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO).
In December 2021, the POKS split into two rival groups, respectively led by party founder Žika Gojković and former Belgrade mayor Vojislav Mihailović. Each group claimed to be the legitimate representative of the party. The Ministry of State Administration and Local Self-Government concluded in July 2022 that Mihailović was the legitimate president of the party.
History
The Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia was formed on 3 June 2017, shortly after Gojković and others were expelled from the SPO after recommending that party leader Vuk Drašković step down from his position to become an honorary president. The new party was registered on 17 July 2017, and Gojković was chosen as its leader on 15 October 2017.
Prior to the split, Gojković was one of three SPO members serving in the national assembly. All three had been elected in the 2016 Serbian parliamentary election on an electoral list led by the Serbian Progressive Party (Srpska napredna stranka, SNS), and all served in caucus with the Progressives.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia” as monarchist political party in Serbia. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as monarchist political party in Serbia. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q48837949. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017, 2021, 2022 and 2016.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
