Political activity in Bosnia and Herzegovina is intensifying ahead of the 2026 general elections. In Republika Srpska, the SNSD party has launched its campaign with the slogan ‘Always with the people, always with Srpska,’ while candidates like Savo Minić emphasize a long-term development plan through 2030. Milorad Dodik, representing SNSD, recently visited Israel, where he noted being welcomed as a friend.

In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bakir Izetbegović of the SDA has criticized the current government for corruption and debt, proposing his ‘Program 3x50’ which aims for 50 billion in investments and 50,000 new jobs. Meanwhile, the SDP BiH has presented its 2026–2030 program, which includes raising the minimum wage to 1,500 KM and the minimum pension to 1,000 KM.

Additionally, the Movement for a Modern and Active Krajina (POMAK) has opened its campaign in Bihać, calling for greater regional representation. Monitoring by Istinomjer indicates that only 14.7% of election promises made by authorities during the 2022–2026 mandate were fulfilled.
