The Bosniak Party (Bosnian: Bošnjačka Stranka, Montenegrin Cyrillic: Бошњачка странка) is a Bosniak minority political party in Montenegro.
This party was founded in 2006 by Rafet Husović and was officially registered with the Ministry of Justice on 24 March 2006. It was formed by unification of the Slavic Muslim orientated parties in Montenegro: International Democratic Union, Bosniak Democratic Alternative, Moslem-Bosniak Alliance and Party of National Equality, in February the same year.
At the last legislative elections in Montenegro, in March 2009, Bosniak party was a part of victorious Coalition for a European Montenegro, alongside DPS, SDP and HGI. Thus, this party holds three seats in Parliament of Montenegro, and its president is minister without portfolio in the Government of Montenegro.
Famous quotes containing the word party:
“He said, truly, that the reason why such greatly superior numbers quailed before him was, as one of his prisoners confessed, because they lacked a cause,—a kind of armor which he and his party never lacked. When the time came, few men were found willing to lay down their lives in defense of what they knew to be wrong; they did not like that this should be their last act in this world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
