The Serbian National Renewal (Srpska narodna obnova) was the first Serbian nationalist political party founded in the country. It was formed in 1989 by Vuk Drašković, Mirko Jović and Vojislav Šešelj. Its leaders soon split up and in 1990 Šešelj formed the Serbian Radical Party and Drašković formed the Serbian Renewal Movement.
The party has been linked to the paramilitary group Dušan Silni. Its members have been found guilty of war crimes related to the Lovas massacre.

“I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“My hope is ... that we may recover ... something of a renewal of that vision of the law with which men may be supposed to have started out with in the old days of the oracles, who communed with the intimations of divinity.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
