The Young Democratic-Progressive Party of Macedonia (Macedonian: Млада демократско-прогресивна странка на Македонија, Mlada demokratsko-progresivna stranka na Makedonija, MDSM) was a political party in Macedonia led by Risto Ivanov.
The party was founded on 1 July 1990, as a successor party to the League of Socialist Youth of Macedonia. Previously, at its 13th Congress, the organisation expressed its political interest in forming a new political party that would operate in continuity with its previous political positions and commitments. On 3 October 1990, it promoted its political program and slogan: "Together, for the happiness and satisfaction of every individual". Regarding the issue of Macedonia's independence, MDSM advocates for: a free, prosperous Macedonia in an equal Yugoslav, Balkan and European community, which clearly indicates that this party did not have a clearly defined position regarding independence. Regarding the future of Yugoslavia, MDSM promotes the idea of a "third Yugoslavia", as a community of free and sovereign peoples and equal republics that contractually determine the foundations and conditions for living together.[1]
In the first multi-party elections in 1990, MDSM ran in coalition with the Union of Reform Forces of Macedonia, winning 6 parliamentary seats. In other areas, it ran with the Socialist Party, winning one seat.[2]
On 28 June 1991, the party decided to merge with the Union of Reform Forces,[3] under the new name Union of Reform Forces of Macedonia - Liberal Party, eventually forming the Liberal Party in 1993.
