The People's Party (Serbian: Narodna Stranka) is a conservative party in Montenegro.
At the last legislative elections in Montenegro, 10 September 2006, the coalition of SNP, NS and DSS won 11 out of 81 seats in the Parliament of Montenegro. Out of this, People's Party of Montenegro will have 2 seats.
The party is led by Predrag Popović.
The People's Party of Montenegro was first formed in 1906. It renewed its work in 1990, after a multi-party system was introduced in Montenegro.
The People's Party opposed Slobodan Milošević's regime in Serbia and his supporters in Montenegro during the 1990s. It joined DPS and SDP on 1998 election, and it participated in Government with the two until 2001. But, when DPS and SDP openly stated that they are proponents of full Montenegrin independence, People's Party of Montenegro left the coalition and the Government.
Afterwards, it was mostly in coalition with pro-union with Serbia parties. After the referendum the People's Party refused to acknowledge the result due to many proofs of rigging, as blackmails, buying votes and voters' lists irregularities. However, it accepts the existing status. It's goal is to remove Milo Đukanović from power, and improve relations with Serbia. People's Party is nurturing history, tradition, and culture of the Petrović Dynasty, when they consider Montenegro was a Serbian national state. The motto of the People's Party is that the right on life, freedom, property and faith is inalienable.
The People's Party is in the process of reaching observer membership in the European People's Party and International Democrat Union.
