The Civic Alliance of Serbia (; abbr. ÃÂáá or GSS) was a liberal political party in Serbia.
The Civic Alliance of Serbia (GSS) was founded on 10 June 1992. Initially, it was a coalition of two successor parties to Ante MarkoviÃÂ's Yugoslavia-wide Union of Reform Forces for Serbia proper and Vojvodina, renamed the Reform Party of Serbia and League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina respectively, along with the Serbian successor to the Association for the Yugoslav Democratic Initiative renamed the Republican Club, and the People's Peasant Party. In the 1992 election, the coalition was represented by Ratomir TaniÃÂ. Following the election, the Republican Club led by Nebojà ¡a Popov and the Reform Party of Serbia led by Vesna Peà ¡iàmerged to form the GSS party.
In 1996 à ½arko Koraàleft the GSS with a group of dissidents who opposed forming coalition with the right-wing Serbian Renewal Movement for the 1996 federal election and formed the Social Democratic Union (SDU).
Notable members over the years included Goran SvilanoviÃÂ, former Foreign Minister of Serbia and Montenegro, Nataà ¡a MiÃÂiÃÂ, former parliamentary president and acting president of Serbia, Gaà ¡o KnezeviÃÂ, former Serbian Minister of Education, and Vesna Peà ¡iÃÂ, the party founder and longtime leader.
The future of the party had been in doubt ever since it 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 Nataà ¡a MiÃÂiàas the new 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 Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) on April 7, 2007. The party had three representatives in the National Assembly of Serbia in 2007 elected from the list of the LDP.
