SARAJEVO, May 28 (FENA) - The President of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA), Bakir Izetbegović, congratulated the members and sympathizers on the 33 years of the party's existence, dedicated and fruitful work of this party at a ceremony in Sarajevo held on Saturday.

This was the occasion to present the long-term results of the SDA's work and efforts, and he pointed out to those present that during the war, where the SDA had a dominant role, the fewest war crimes occurred, and in the time of the post-war normalization of relations, the party was the engine of stabilization, normalization and progress.

The members of the party, as he says, dedicatedly worked on the reconciliation of people, the return of the expelled, the reaffirmation of the multi-ethnic spirit of BiH, and the adoption of European standards and the acceleration of the Euro-Atlantic path.

He believes that the greatest progress has been achieved in the reconstruction and development of the market economy, private entrepreneurship, as well as in solving socioeconomic issues.

He underlined that "despite decades of attacks and attempts to compromise the SDA, this first-established BiH party remained the first-ranked, winning party through a series of election cycles".

"The SDA regularly receives the support of at least 280,000 voters, it is the strongest party in BiH, it is almost twice as strong as the next party in the Federation of BiH," said Izetbegović.

He stated that the SDA supports the consistent application of the rule of law and the prosecution of those responsible for corruption and all other criminal acts.

"We will always support a professional and honest judiciary, but it is impossible for corruption and violation of the law to occur only in areas where Bosniaks live in the majority, and not in the RS entity or in areas ruled by the HDZ, says Izetbegović.

Although he points out that the party was the dominant winner of the October elections, he notes that it was not enough, and the SDA could not overcome the united parties of the Eight supported by the interventions of part of the international community, and he could not defeat all of them. 

The SDA will mostly be in the opposition in this mandate.

According to him, going to the opposition will cause the departure of some of the persons who entered politics and the SDA for careerist and self-interest reasons.

On the other hand, he says that fair, clear, patriotic policies will attract correct, patriotically oriented members and voters.

"There will be a spontaneous "cleaning of the SDA", which many have been advocating and calling for for a long time. We have to find a way to make it clear to the people that we engage in politics for their benefit and not for our own benefit, and that we suffer all the blows we have received and will receive for the betterment of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its people. This, along with the expansion of the coalition's capacity, but also the inevitable mistakes of the Three, which we will constantly point out as before, will bring us a dominant victory in the next elections. Maybe even more convincing than ever, God willing," said Izetbegović.
