SNS internal collapse 2026 — Serbia’s ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) is disintegrating internally ahead of elections, with leader Aleksandar Vučić reportedly losing control amid a “general schism,” mass defections, and passive membership. According to an analysis, the party, founded in 2008, faces conflicts between Vučić and his coordinators nationwide. His plan for a “general mobilization” has failed, and the SNS is expected to be dropped by its European Parliament partners.

The report describes the SNS as a criminal enterprise and a sect, now a battleground for factions fighting over plundered state assets. It details violent incidents in towns like Bor and Užice during 2025. Many members who profited have moved abroad. Local committees are collapsing; Čačak mayor Milun Todorović attempted to withdraw in 2025, and Užice mayor Jelena Raković Radivojević took medical leave in late 2025, with her condition becoming life-threatening in 2026. New appointees like Dragoљub Stojadinović in Užice quickly resigned in early 2026.

The analysis concludes that after 14 years, this “phantom project” is vanishing rapidly, with predictions that nothing will remain of the party by the elections.
