The People's European Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnian: Narodni evropski savez Bosne i Hercegovine; abbreviated NES) is centre to centre-right political party in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The party was formed on 27 February 2021

History

[edit]

The People's European Union was formed by the merger of the Party of Democratic Activity (A-SDA) and the Independent Bosnian-Herzegovinian List (NBL) on 27 February 2021 in Sarajevo.[1]

The party was announced by the municipal mayor of Stari Grad Sarajevo and former NBL leader, Ibrahim Hadžibajrić, as an "enlargement" of the political scene. Former A-SDA president Nermin Ogrešević was named as president of the NES.[2] Upon its formation, NES was part of the government of the Una-Sana Canton.[2][3]

The NES inherited one seat in the national House of Representatives, which the A-SDA won in the 2018 general election.[4] In the 2022 general election, the party won two seats in the House of Representatives.[5]
