The Civic Alliance of Serbia (Serbian: Грађански савез Србије or Građanski savez Srbije) was a social-liberal party in Serbia.
It was founded and registered in 1992. It came into existance through the merger between the Republican Club and Reformist Party (the Serbian successor to Ante Marković's SFR Yugoslavia-wide party Union of Reform Forces).
In late March 2007, Civic Alliance ceased its existence as a distinct political entity when it merged into the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
Notable members over the years included Goran Svilanović, former Foreign Minister of Serbia and Montenegro, Nataša Mićić, former parliamentary president and acting president of Serbia, Gašo Knezević, former Serbian Minister of Education, and Vesna Pešić, the party founder and longtime leader.
The party had three representatives in the National Assembly of Serbia on the list of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
The future of the party had been in doubt ever since its split into two wings. One part promoted a merger with Democratic Party, while the other part wanted to continue political existence as an independent party. The December 2004 party congress upheld the decision to remain an independent party and elected Nataša Mićić as the leader. The party decided to apply for membership of the ELDR and the Liberal International. At its may 2004 council, ELDR, accepted GSS as an affiliate member.
However, GSS merged into the LDP on March 31, 2007, after the Board unanimously accepted the proposal, finalising their alliance from the 2007 elections.[1]
