The United Regions of Serbia (Serbian: Уједињени региони Србије, УPC / Ujedinjeni regioni Srbije, URS) was a regionalist^[2] and liberal-conservative^[2] political party in Serbia. Originally founded on 16 May 2010 as a political coalition, it became a unified political party on 21 April 2013.^[3]^[4] The URS advocated decentralization and was pro-business.^[5]^[6]

The URS received 5.51% of the popular vote in the 2012 parliamentary election. Following the election, the URS formed a coalition government together with the Serbian Progressive Party and Socialist Party of Serbia. On 31 July 2013 the URS was ousted from the government and became opposition.^[7]

On 13 November 2015 the party was removed from the register of political parties and formally ceased to exist, which was controversial because the party had over a million euros of unpaid debt. It was already de facto nonexistent for more than a year, according to the former president Mlađan Dinkić.^[8] ^[9]

The URS was an associate member of the European People's Party.^[10]
