The Serbian Movement Dveri (Serbian: Српски покрет Двери / Srpski pokret Dveri, meaning 'doors') is a right-wing political movement in Serbia. Leader and founder of Dveri Movement is Boško Obradović.
Dveri were formed in 1999 as a Christian right-wing youth organisation gathered around the eponymous student magazine. Through 2000s they operated as a NGO, promoting values of Serbian nationalism, Orthodox Christianity and family. In 2000s they became a full-scale political party, participating in the 2012 general elections onwards. For the 2016 elections they formed a coalition with the conservative Democratic Party of Serbia, which entered the National Assembly with 5.2% of the popular vote and earning 13 seats, 7 of which belonging to Dveri.
Dveri was founded by Branimir Nešić in 1999 as an Christian right-wing youth organisation consisting mainly of students from the University of Belgrade which regularly arranged public debates devoted to the popularisation of clerical-nationalist philosophy of Nikolaj Velimirović, a bishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church who was canonized in 2003 and is considered a major anti-Western thinker.
The organisation promotes a pronounced Serbian nationalist ideology. It opposed a resolution passed by Serbian parliament in March 2010 which condemned the Srebrenica massacre committed by the Bosnian Serb Army in eastern Bosnia in 1995, and is also fiercely opposed to the independence of Kosovo. It is also well known for its opposition to promotion of homosexuality.
