The Serbian Progressive Party in Macedonia (SNSM) (Serbian Cyrillic: Српска напредна странка у Македонији, Macedonian: Српска напредна странка во Македонија; СНСМ) is a political party in the Republic of Macedonia.
SNSM shares a variety of contacts with Serbian and other non-governmental organizations in the Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro, Republika Srpska and elsewhere and with the core party, Serbia-centered Serbian Progressive Party (SNS). It is a separate and independent political organization, subject to the Constitution and legislation of the Republic of Macedonia.
SNSM (commonly referred colloquially only by the acronym "СНС" - "SNS") also puts strong premium on specifics of both chronic and acute problems of re-establishing and fortification of Serbdom (individual consciousness of oneself as an ethic Serb, in community of other Serbs). The main principle of SNSM is Serbian identity politics and national empowerment as a hitherto marginalized ethnic group in Republic of Macedonia. It aims to preserve local Serbian heritage and tradition, emphasizing the multi-ethnic character of the country, advancement of organizational and materialized forms of aid to revival of Serbian academic studies, sustaining of the Serbian language and Serbian literacy, and improving the representation of Serbian pupils in Macedonia's schooling system.
The party also rejects anti-Slavic identity revisionism in Macedonia. The practical issues of economic, infrastructural and technical problems facing Serbian community in Macedonia.
It shares its platform with the same-named, previously established political party centered in the Republic of Serbia, and the core of elaborated principles (Serbian conservatism, individualism, minarchism, as the primary principle as opposed to collectivist nationalism of any variety). SNSM seldom calls for state-level libertarian economic reform.
