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.
Famous quotes containing the words national and/or renewal:
“Public speaking is done in the public tongue, the national or tribal language; and the language of our tribe is the men’s language. Of course women learn it. We’re not dumb. If you can tell Margaret Thatcher from Ronald Reagan, or Indira Gandhi from General Somoza, by anything they say, tell me how. This is a man’s world, so it talks a man’s language.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
“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)
