The general conference was held on September 2, 1945. It lasted three days, including individual conferences of Dr. Ivan Šubašić, its convener, with regional groups of participants. The aim of the conference was to inform the membership of the political situation in the country and the work of party's leadership, and to consider future political involvement. The majority of the participants rejected Subašić's compromising politics, especially in the light of terror that the regime was conducting and the confinement of the party's vice-president. August Košutić; the requested Šubašić's resignation. At J. Šutej's suggestion, the conference decided that Šubašić goes to Paris for consultation with V. Maček, the party's president. Even though Šubašić had different ideas for the party before coming to the conference, he accepted membership suggestion. But since he was prevented by the Communist Party to realize the conclusions of the conference, he resigned.
