For the Future of Montenegro (Serbian: За будућност Црне Горе, romanized: Za budućnost Crne Gore, ZBCG) is a mainly cultural conservative and Serb political coalition in Montenegro, formed for the 2020 and 2023 parliamentary elections.[3][4] It has been described as a grouping that is "pro-Serbian".[5] The coalition common list for 2020 election was led by a Montenegrin university professor, Zdravko Krivokapić. The leader of the list in 2023 is Milan Knežević.[6]

Coalition constituent members for 2020 parliamentary election are; two alliances Democratic Front (New Serb Democracy, Movement for Changes, Democratic People's Party and True Montenegro), Popular Movement (United Montenegro, Workers' Party, independent group in the parliament, also some minor right-wing parties, such as DSJ and DSS), NGO NDCG and Socialist People's Party, which is not part of any of alliances, but maintains close cooperation with the newly-formed Popular Movement. The coalition is also supported by a number of minor non-parliamentary organizations such as far-right Serb Radical Party of Montenegro, as well as far-left Yugoslav Communist Party, also of some Serb national and cultural NGOs in Montenegro, such as Serb National Council of Montenegro.[3]

Andrija Mandić used the name of the coalition for his 2023 presidential campaign.[7] The coalition was revived ahead of the 2023 parliamentary election, but without the Movement for Changes, Socialist People's Party, Ne damo Crnu Goru and True Montenegro.[8][9]
