The Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnian: Stranka za Bosnu i Hercegovinu) is a liberal conservative political party in Bosnia and Herzegovina led by Haris Silajdžić. On the issues of the internal divisions of Bosnia, SBiH wants to eliminate two entities, and establish a "one man-one vote political system" in an unified Bosnia-Herzegovina. It is considered a Bosniak nationalist party by the political classes of Republika Srpska.
In April 2006, the Party for BiH along with Croat parties led the opposition to constitutional amendments, which had the support of the main Bosniak and Serb parties as well as the Social Democratic Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This position is likely the reason for their success in the most recent elections.
