Politics of Bosnia and Herzegovina Political parties Elections

The Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnian: Stranka za Bosnu i Hercegovinu) is a conservative political party in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It has been described as 'ultranationalist', and is 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" so Bosniaks would make any decision with minorising the opinion of the Serbs and Croats. It is considered a Bosniak nationalist party by the political ruling classes of Republika Srpska, and the other world governments.

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.
