SDP BiH based its establishment and development on the principles of European and Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Social Democracy, on peasant and worker movements, on lectures and messages of the People’s Liberation Anti-Fascist War (1941-1945), on the positive values of social development after the end of the Second World War, on the basis of reforms and democratic steps made by the Communist Party and the Alliance of Reformists of Bosnia and Herzegovina towards a multi-party system and a political and economic democracy at the end of the 80’s and the beginning of 90’s.

SDP BiH’s principles are rooted in the Social Democratic Party of BiH founded in 1909 “as an expression of the political needs of the working class”. This party also attempted to overcome the mono-ethnic character of political organisation, multiethnic polarisation and confrontation. The Social Democratic Party continued its work to preserve co-habitation, political sovereignty, territorial integrity and the independence of BiH between 1992 and 1995. After the war it has been working within the framework of implementing the Dayton Peace Accord and has been fighting to establish a democratic society and state grounded in the basic principles of social justice and equality, solidarity and responsibility towards other people.
