History
SDF is the third political party in Serbia formed initially as Socijal-demokratska partija (SDP) by the group of Spanish players who wanted to take over Serbian Congress in June 2009. After their unsuccessful attempt (the party got just 23 votes), two groups from Serbia started with their campaigns to win the party July elections and take the control of the so called SDP.
The candidate of the first fraction was Dusan Sorgic who together with dr.doom, mikica v and some other players, were united behind the idea of Socijaldemokratski forum (SDF). The candidate of the second fraction was Andreja Djuric, who together with desert hamster and Hostilian presented the idea of Stranka zdravog razuma (SZR).
These fractions had opposite campaigns – while SDF group was insisting on more serious and program based approach, SZR adopted humorous and teasing campaign. After the party elections, Dusan Sorgic was elected as the president and finally renamed the party to Socijaldemokratski forum. The newly reformed party participated for the very first time at July 2009 Congress elections winning 9 seats and becoming the second party in the Serbian Congress. In August 2009 elections, SDF took 8 congressional seats.
In early September 2009, SDF was merged with the Liberals (Liberalna partija eSrbije). The united party kept its name (Socijaldemokratski forum) and redesigned its logo within its widely recognized branding.
Political activity
Socijaldemokratski forum is a Centre-Left party on the Serbian political scene. In their statement, SDF says that they are not the just the party but forum too; forum where everyone is free to give his or her contribution to a better and fairer community.
They insist that politics should be transparent, objecting somewhat lack of official information from the current government. SDF is a constitutional party and support the national consensus about the act that would give more authority to the Congress.
In their foreign policy, they are pro PEACE also thinking about the wider co-ordination with the neighbouring countries. SDF also supports the political organizations of the Serbian players in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Their economy program is based on high taxes for the resources that are already present in Serbia while they support lowering taxes for other raw materials, including iron. SDF wants the country administration’s to be more involved in the economy by founding Chamber of Commerce that would help out new businesses and providing start-up loans. SDF intention is to diminish the influence of the black market and transfer all transaction within the system so that more taxes should be collected.
They believe that the income tax should be raised over the time to finance the development of the Serbian Army (VeS) and support its reform.
SDF is also known for the regular contact with its members, often sending them personalized messages and conducting internal polls.
