Milorad Dodik, leader of the SNSD, has outlined several political and social objectives for Republika Srpska. He expressed a desire for a politically secure and economically sustainable entity within the Dayton framework, emphasizing the need to resist centralizing efforts from Sarajevo. Dodik proposed the integration of East Novo Sarajevo and East Ilidža to strengthen the region's autonomy.

Regarding social welfare, Dodik announced that pensions in Republika Srpska will be paid ahead of the upcoming elections. He also noted that the entity has maintained stability in salaries and social benefits since 2006.

On the international stage, Dodik expressed support for Israel, citing a shared history of suffering between Serbs and Jews. He also voiced strong support for Donald Trump, viewing his administration as a potential window for the interests of Republika Srpska to be heard, contrasting this with the Biden administration's policies and sanctions, which he claimed were implemented secretly.
