The Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia ([Pokret obnove Kraljevine Srbije (POKS)] error: {{lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help); Serbian Cyrillic: Покрет обнове Краљевине Србије) is a monarchist political party in Serbia, founded in 2017 after a split within the Serbian Renewal Movement (Srpski pokret obnove; SPO). The party's leader is Žika Gojković, who is also its sole member of the National Assembly of Serbia.
The Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia was formed in June 2017, shortly after Gojković and others were expelled from the SPO after recommending that party leader Vuk Drašković step down from his position to become an honorary president. The new party was officially registered on July 17, 2017, and Gojković was officially chosen as its leader on October 15, 2017.
Prior to the split, the SPO had elected three members (including Gojković) in the 2016 Serbian parliamentary election on an electoral list led by the Serbian Progressive Party. All three served in caucus with the Progressives following the election. Despite leaving the SPO, Gojković has not left the Progressive Party caucus, where he continues to serve with his former SPO colleagues. On being chosen as POKS leader, he indicated his continued support of Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić.
In addition to Gojković serving in the National Assembly, the party has three seats in the Assembly of Vojvodina.
