Semir Efendić new/old president of the Party of BiH

(Patria) - Semir Efendić has been elected as the new/old president of the Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This was decided by acclamation of all 222 delegates at today's Fifth Congress of the Party of BiH, organized in Sarajevo, which also marked 30 years of the party's activity.

Efendić was the only candidate for the president of the Party of BiH, and he was unanimously elected for a new four-year term.



Let us remind you, Semir Efendić became the president of the Party of BiH on November 7, 2021, and has held that position since.

During the continuation of the Congress, which is being held in the amphitheater of the UNITIC building, delegates will also elect members of the Presidency, as well as the central bodies of the party, which will define the political direction of activity in the coming period.

The Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina was founded in the mid-nineties, and its founder and long-time leader was Haris Silajdžić.



During its political activity, it has profiled itself as a party that strongly advocates for the preservation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of BiH, while opposing ethnic divisions and strengthening state institutions.

In previous mandates, it was part of the government at various levels, including the Council of Ministers of BiH and entity governments, where it participated in the adoption of laws and reform processes, particularly in the areas of economy, refugee return, and strengthening state competencies.

The party was also active in international political initiatives, particularly through advocating for the revision of the constitutional setup of Bosnia and Herzegovina and strengthening the role of the state at the expense of entity competencies.



The Congress comes at a time when the party is trying to redefine its political position on the domestic scene and renew its organizational structure after a longer period of weaker electoral results.
