In May 2001 Social Democracy was excluded from the ruling Democratic Opposition of Serbia coalition and forced into opposition. A split faction from the party, at the protest of DOS, was recognized by the Supreme Court as the legitimate bearer of the name, thus managing to get hold over all of SD''s seats. This new Social democracy merged with the Social Democratic Union in July 2002 in an effort to unite DOS social democrat currents, forming the Social Democratic Party within the DOS coalition. However, inner-party disagreements led to a fraction seceding in March 2003 recreating SDU under arko Kora . In November 2003 SDP announced that it would support the opposition''s initiative to disband the government upon charges of corruption. As a result, it was immediately expelled from the DOS into the opposition.
