The Strength of Serbia Movement – BK (, abbr. PSS) is a conservative political party in Serbia.
History The party was founded in 2004. Its founder and current leader of PSS-BK is Bogoljub Karić, Serbian businessman and tycoon under criminal charges in flight. From 2012 to 2026 it was a member of the big tent and populist Serbian Progressive Party-led (SNS) coalition.
In September 2026, PSS announced that it would participate independently in the upcoming parliamentary elections, submitting its own electoral list headed by Karić. Following the submission of their list, the Republic Electoral Commission (RIK) ordered an urgent verification of voter support signatures due to suspected irregularities in certain signatures, prompting checks by municipal administrations and public notaries.
Political positions PSS has been described as a conservative, liberal-conservative, populist, and pro-Russian party. It is positioned on the centre-right of the political spectrum.
