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

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.

In the 2016 parliamentary elections it ran alone, winning two seats. The party officially changed its name from the Bosniak Democratic Union of Sandžak to the Justice and Reconciliation Party on 23 December 2017. 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

SPP is Bosniak nationalist and advocates for minority rights for Bosniaks. Additionally, it promotes a conservative, and Islamist ideology. SPP has defined itself as a "multi-ethnic, multi-confessional, liberal-conservative, and pro-European party of the centre-right".
