The Movement for the People and the State (Serbian: Покрет за народ и државу, romanized: Pokret za narod i državu, abbr. PZND), which was initially referred to as the People's Movement for the State (Serbian: Народни покрет за државу, romanized: Narodni pokret za državu, abbr. NPZD), is a political movement in Serbia. It was initiated in March 2023 by Aleksandar Vučić, the President of Serbia and then-president of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS). Vučić defined NPZD as a "supra-party movement" that would include political parties, such as SNS and the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS), and other political movements, associations and individuals. He organised rallies to promote the movement in 2023 and 2025.
NPZD was announced in June 2023 but as of 2026, it has not released its programme. Journalists and political scientists have reported it could take populist and centrist positions. Alongside Vučić's SNS, the Social Democratic Party of Serbia, Movement of Socialists, United Serbia, PUPS – Solidarity and Justice, Serbian Party Oathkeepers, and Greens of Serbia have expressed an interest in joining the movement. Inside SPS, there has been both support and opposition of the movement; Ivica Dačić, the president of SPS, supports the party's inclusion in the movement. All the aforementioned parties, including SPS, contested the 2024 Belgrade City Assembly election as part of the Belgrade Tomorrow electoral list, in which they won 64 out of 110 seats in the City Assembly of Belgrade. The movement was officially registered in March 2025 and opened its first offices in Niš in September 2025. the movement's founders include Đuro Macut, the incumbent prime minister of Serbia.
