The Movement for Reversal (Serbian: Покрет за преокрет, romanised: Pokret za preokret, abbr. PZP) was a minor centre-left political organisation in Serbia. Its leader was Janko Veselinović, a professor at the University of Novi Sad.

History

Movement for Reversal was founded in 2015, by a Serbian academic Janko Veselinović, who decided to split from the Social Democratic Party, claiming that its leadership does not have a clear vision of how to counter the Serbian Progressive Party and the Socialist Party of Serbia.

The organisation participated in the 2016 Serbian parliamentary elections in a coalition along with the Serbian Left and the Social Democratic Union. However, the coalition finished ninth with 0.94% of the votes and failed to pass the census.

In 2018, the organisation was one of the founding members of the major opposition coalition called the Alliance for Serbia. The coalition boycotted the 2020 Serbian parliamentary elections.

In November 2025, it was announced that the PZP would merge into the Party of Freedom and Justice.
