Nakon niza konsultacija s rukovodećim tijelima stranke, nedavno ponovno izabrani lider stranke Tihić zatražio je od Sadovića da ode s funkcije po osnovu "opstrukcionizma u usvajanju i provedbi zakona o boravku i kretanju stranaca i azilu, toga što njegovo ministarstvo radi po etničkim linijama, nepoštivanja Vijeća ministara i osporavanja mandata Policijske misije EU u zemlji".
Following a number of consultations within the party's governing bodies, recently re-elected party leader Tihic asked Sadovic to step down based on "obstruction in passing and implementing the law on residence and movement of foreign nationals and asylum, his ministry working on ethnically-based lines, ignoring the Council of Ministers, and challenging of the EU Police Mission's mandate in the country".
