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:
“Good government cannot be found on the bargain-counter. We have seen samples of bargain-counter government in the past when low tax rates were secured by increasing the bonded debt for current expenses or refusing to keep our institutions up to the standard in repairs, extensions, equipment, and accommodations. I refuse, and the Republican Party refuses, to endorse that method of sham and shoddy economy.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
