The Serbian Patriotic Alliance (Serbian: Српски патриотски савез, romanized: Srpski patriotski savez, abbr. SPAS; lit. 'salvation') was a right-wing populist political party in Serbia. It was led by Aleksandar Šapić, the president of the New Belgrade municipality.
The legal predecessor of SPAS was the Movement of United Local Self-Governments (PULS), founded in 2010. PULS took part in several right-wing coalitions during its existence. Shortly after the 2018 Belgrade City Assembly election, it merged with the civic group "Aleksandar Šapić – Mayor" to form SPAS. It later participated in the 2020 parliamentary election, winning 3.83% of the popular vote and 11 seats in the National Assembly. SPAS served as a part of the Serbian Progressive Party-led government until its dissolution. In early May 2021, SNS and SPAS began negotiating about SPAS merging into the Serbian Progressive Party, and on 26 May it was announced to the public that the party had been dissolved. It was officially merged into the SNS three days later.
