The Party of Democratic Action of Sandžak (Serbian Cyrillic: Странка Демократске Акције Санџака, Bosnian: Stranka demokratske akcije Sandžaka) is a political party that represents the Bosniak ethnic majority in the Sandžak region of Serbia.
The Party of Democratic Action of Sandžak (SDA) was founded on 29 July 1990 in Novi Pazar, as a branch of the Party of Democratic Action based in Sarajevo, which was then a pan-Yugoslav political party. The branch was founded in order to protect the interests of Muslims of Sandžak, Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo. The leadership of the SDA included Sulejman Ugljanin, president of the SDA, Harun Hadžić, president of the SDA of Montenegro, Numan Balić, president of the SDA of Kosovo and Metohija and Riza Halili, president of the SDA of Preševo.
The SDA founded the Muslim National Council of Sandžak (MNVS) on 11 May 1991. The MNVS acted as a quasi-governmental body of the Sandžak Muslims. It organised a referendum between 25 and 27 October 1991, asking the Sandžak Muslims weather they're in favour of "full political and territorial autonomy" of Sandžak and its "right to join one of the sovereign republics", presumably the SR Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Serbian authorities declared the referendum unconstitutional. The referendum was organised with the support from the Bosnian SDA, although this was denied by the MNVS. The MNVS claimed that 264,000 people in Sandžak, the rest of the SFR Yugoslavia and abroad asked to be included on the voter list. The turnout was 71%, while 98% voted in favour of the political and territorial autonomy of Sandžak with right of joining to other republics of the SFR Yugoslavia. President of the SDA said that the MNVS will decide which republic will Sandžak join, depending on further developments.
