In June 1991, representatives of Bosnian Muslims (Party of Democratic Action, SDA) and Bosnian Serbs (Serb Democratic Party, SDS) met to discuss the future status of SR Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Yugoslav crisis.

On behalf of SDA president Alija Izetbegović, Adil Zulfikarpašić and Muhamed Filipović met with SDS president Radovan Karadžić, Nikola Koljević and Momčilo Krajišnik.

Zulfikarpašić received the consent of Serbian President Slobodan Milošević, who also promised 60% of Sandžak to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The inability to find a solution diplomatically eventually led to the outbreak of the Bosnian War some 10 months later.

Following the signing of the Dayton Agreement which ended the war, Bosnia and Herzegovina became an internationally recognized independent federation with several entities.
