Right-wing and ethno-nationalist movements have grown in Serbia and parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina in recent years.
NOT BSTOTAL BS
HARDLY BS — Verdict: Mostly True
Verified by Lenz ·
The Short Version
Multiple recent, credible reports document a revival and heightened visibility of far-right and ethnic-nationalist groups in Serbia and in Republika Srpska, indicating a genuine upward trend since roughly 2023. While some sources merely note the continued presence of nationalism and hard data on membership or votes are limited, the weight of evidence supports an overall rise, not just persistence. The growth is clearer in Serbia and RS than in other parts of Bosnia.
Caveats
Evidence for Bosnia largely refers to Republika Srpska; conditions elsewhere in the country are less substantiated.
Most sources describe increases qualitatively; hard metrics on membership, electoral share, or organized capacity are limited.
Serbia also hosts sizable pro-democracy counter-movements, so nationalist growth coexists with opposing trends.
