The Justice and Reconciliation Party (Bosnian: Stranka pravde i pomirenja; Serbian: Странка правде и помирења; abbr. SPP), formerly known as the Bosniak Democratic Union of Sandžak (Bosnian: Bošnjačka demokratska zajednica Sandžaka; Serbian: Бошњачка демократска заједница Санџака; abbr. BDZS), is a political party in Serbia, representing the Bosniak ethnic minority concentrated in the Sandžak region of Serbia.
History
[edit]It contested the 2014 parliamentary elections as part of a joint list with the centrist Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and centre-left Social Democratic Union (SDU), but the alliance received only 3.4% of the vote, failing to win a seat.[1]
In the 2016 parliamentary elections it ran alone, winning two seats.[2] The party officially changed its name from the Bosniak Democratic Union of Sandžak to the Justice and Reconciliation Party on 23 December 2017.[3] Jahja Fehratović had led the party from its formation until this time; following the name change, Muamer Zukorlić was recognised as its leader.
Political positions
[edit]SPP is Bosniak nationalist and advocates for minority rights for Bosniaks.[4][5] Additionally, it promotes a conservative,[4][6][7] and Islamist ideology.[8] SPP has defined itself as a "multi-ethnic, multi-confessional, liberal-conservative, and pro-European party of the centre-right".[9]
