After two days of sharp verbal conflict, the Slovene delegation walked out of the Sava Center 22 January. Immediately thereafter, the head of the delegation from Serbia, Slobodan Milošević, suggested that Congress continue to work and move on to decision-making. However, this was strongly opposed by the delegation from Croatia, who argued that this was unconstitutional. At the prompting of Slobodan Lang, Ivica Račan, head of the Croatian delegation, approached the speaker and declared that "we (the SKH delegation) can not accept the Yugoslav party without the Slovenes". When Milošević asked what it would take to recommence the meeting, the Croatian delegation remarked "the Slovene delegation", and that if the meeting was recommenced, they too would leave the proceedings. When attempts were made, the Croatian delegation were true to their word, and they too left, joined by the delegations of Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. At 22.45, Milan Pančevski called the day's proceedings to a close, and an adjournment for the following day; however, this did not happen, and the congress was never recalled.
