The Social Democratic Party of Croatia (Croatian language: ''Socijaldemokratska Partija Hrvatske'') is the main social democratic political party in Croatia. Its president is Ivica Racan, and it currently has 34 seats of the 152 in the Croatian Parliament. ==History== The party evolved from the Croatian Communist Party (''Savez Komunista Hrvatske'', SKH). Its delegation left the 17th congress of the Communist Parties of Yugoslavia together with the Slovenians due to inability to cooperate with the Serbian Communist Party led by Slobodan Milosevic. The Communism was abolished in Yugoslavia shortly thereafter, and so the party added ''Party of Democratic Changes'' (''Stranka demokratskih promjena'', SDP) to its name and participated in the multi-party elections of April 1990. SKH-SDP lost those elections but remained in parliamentary opposition. On April 30, 1994 they merged with the Social Democrats of Croatia (SDH), led by Antun Vujic, to form the Social Democratic Party of Croatia (conveniently abbreviated to "SDP"). Ivica Račan remained the party's president. The party formed a pre-election coalition with the Croatian Social Liberal Party (HSLS) and proceeded to win the January 3, 2000 parliamentary elections. Račan, as the leader of the strongest party, became the Prime ministers of Croatia of Croatia. The coalition government included ministers from SDP and HSLS, plus the coalition of Croatian Peasants Party, the Liberal Party of Croatia, Croatian People's Party, and the Istrian Democratic Assembly. The SDP-led government, though with several changes, remained in power until the next elections of November 23rd, 2003. They formed pre-election coalitions with Party of Liberal Democrats (a dissenting faction of HSLS) and the Liberal Party, but failed to secure a new parliamentary majority, even with the extended coalition of 2000. It won 34 out of 151 seats. == External link == * [http://www.sdp.hr/ Official party web page] Social Democratic parties Political parties in Croatia
