Aleksandar Vučić – Serbia Must Not Stop (Serbian: Александар Вучић – Србија не сме да стане, romanized: Aleksandar Vučić – Srbija ne sme da stane, abbr. AV–SNSDS), commonly shortened to just Serbia Must Not Stop, is a parliamentary group in the National Assembly of Serbia, led by the Serbian Progressive Party.
SNS gained its parliamentary status following the formation of "Forward, Serbia" parliamentary group in September 2008, and a month later it was renamed to "Serbian Progressive Party", following the registration of the party. It had cooperated with the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) and New Serbia (NS) from its formation until 2010, when SNS formed a coalition with NS, and two other parties, the Movement of Socialists (PS) and Strength of Serbia Movement (PSS). The coalition was formalised for the 2012 parliamentary election under the "Let's Get Serbia Moving" banner, in which it won 73 seats, and formed a government with the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) and United Regions of Serbia (URS).
Tomislav Nikolić, then president of Serbia, called snap parliamentary elections to be held in March 2014. SNS formed the "Future We Believe In" list, in which the Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO) and Christian Democratic Party of Serbia (DHSS) also participated, and the list won 158 seats in total. After the election, Aleksandar Vučić, president of SNS, was appointed prime minister, succeeding Ivica Dačić. Vučić called snap elections in early 2016, and after which, the Party of United Pensioners of Serbia (PUPS) and Serbian People's Party (SNP) joined. It participated under the "Serbia is Winning" banner, which won 131 seats in the National Assembly. The "For Our Children" coalition, participated in the 2020 parliamentary election, in which it won a supermajority of seats, and the convocation lasted until February 2022. The SNS-led coalition participated in the 2022 general election under the "Together We Can Do Everything" banner.
The coalition has also ruled Belgrade since 2014, and Vojvodina since 2016, while the presidency is currently occupied by Vučić.
