The Serbian Movement Dveri (Serbian: Српски покрет Двери, romanized: Srpski pokret Dveri), commonly just known as Dveri (Serbian: Двери, lit. 'doors'), is a nationalist and right-wing populist political party in Serbia. Its current president since 2024 is Ivan Kostić, who succeeded Boško Obradović, one of the co-founders of the party.
Formed as a youth-orientated political organisation in 1999, it published an eponymous student magazine that promoted clerical and nationalist content. Through the 2000s, it operated as a non-governmental organisation that campaigned in favour of Christian right views, that included opposition to abortion and opposition to gay rights. Dveri took part in the 2012 elections where it failed to obtain any seats in the National Assembly, although in the 2016 elections it entered the National Assembly in a joint list with the Democratic Party of Serbia, obtaining 13 seats in total, 7 of which belonged to Dveri. Two years later, it took part in the 2018 Belgrade City Assembly election in a coalition with the Enough is Enough but failed to win seats.
It joined the opposition Alliance for Serbia later that year, and became a prominent voice in the alliance, with whom it boycotted the 2020 parliamentary election. It did not take part in its successor alliance, the United Opposition of Serbia, but remained independent during 2021, after which it formed an electoral coalition with Žika Gojković's faction of the Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia for the 2022 general election. It returned to the National Assembly after the 2022 election, winning 6 seats in total. Together with Serbian Party Oathkeepers, Dveri became a founding member of the National Gathering, which failed to cross the threshold in the 2023 elections.
