In 2018, Vladimir Pavićević was elected as the new party leader. During Pavicević's leadership the party was in close relations with opposition Democratic Montenegro (Democrats), which sparked criticism of part of party members.
On 28 January 2020 at the height of the political crisis in Montenegro, Pavićević announced he was leaving the party, following ideological disagreements with party membership, many local committees collectively leave the party and join the Democrats. After Pavićević's departure, the party is increasingly returning to the nationalist discourse, as well supporting the policies of the DPS-led government and President Đukanović, which led to the crisis of the Budva local coalition government, and the removal of the previous opposition-led local authorities, which was accompanied by arrests, police brutality and violence against local government officials and its supporters, as well the return of the DPS to local government in Budva.
The party ran at the 2020 local elections in Budva as part of the list of the ruling DPS. After the victory of the opposition at the August 2020 parliamentary elections, and the fall of the DPS from the position of power after 30 years of rule, Party leader openly called the new parliamentary big tent majority "enemies of Montenegro".
