Bucharest, Feb 20 /Agerpres/ - Over 1,700 Social Democrats elect their new leading team on Saturday during the Extraordinary Congress to be held in Bucharest.

The leading team will be elected in keeping with the 2005 PSD Statutes. Another congress will be convened for amending the above-mentioned document, most probably this autumn.
