The conclusion of the Statute of the Party, the organization and working methods of the Party was also adopted.
The Congress was also marked by a minor incident that occurred during the counting of votes for the Vice Presidents. The candidate Mirsad Kukić and his supporters believed that they could be looted and reacted strongly to the alleged irregularities. The situation soon calmed down, and the results of voting for the Main Board of the SDA were counted in great detail, causing a delay of several hours.
What could be heard at the Congress were also the demands for the democratization of the Party of Democratic Action, by the principle that each member of the party has the right to elect the leadership. However, the new President Izetbegović explained that the Congress rejected candidates who advocated such a thing.
The following, Seventh Congress of the Party of Democratic Action, should be held no later than May 26th, 2019.
