The United Regions of Serbia (Serbian: Уједињени региони Србије, УPC / Ujedinjeni regioni Srbije, URS) was a regionalist[2] and liberal-conservative[2] political party in Serbia. Originally founded on 16 May 2010 as a political coalition, it became a unified political party on 21 April 2013.[3][4] The URS advocated decentralization and was pro-business.[5][6]
The URS received 5.51% of the popular vote in the 2012 parliamentary election. Following the election, the URS formed a coalition government together with the Serbian Progressive Party and Socialist Party of Serbia. On 31 July 2013 the URS was ousted from the government and became opposition.[7]
On 13 November 2015 the party was removed from the register of political parties and formally ceased to exist, which was controversial because the party had over a million euros of unpaid debt. It was already de facto nonexistent for more than a year, according to the former president Mlađan Dinkić.[8] [9]
The URS was an associate member of the European People's Party.[10]
