2026 elections in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina

Overview

The 2026 general election campaigns in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina have commenced under strict regulatory oversight. The Central Election Commission of Bosnia and Herzegovina (CIK BiH) warned political entities that hate speech could result in fines, candidate removal, or the cancellation of certification. Campaign regulations include a spending limit of 30 fenings per voter for the Presidency and Parliamentary Assembly elections.

In Republika Srpska, the SNSD party has launched its campaign with candidates Željka Cvijanović and Savo Minić. During a pre-election rally in Derventa, SNSD leader Milorad Dodik emphasized the party’s goals regarding the autonomy of Republika Srpska and its relations with international powers including Serbia, Russia, the US, and China.

Political tensions have risen as Dodik engaged in a verbal dispute with Draško Stanivuković, leader of the ‘Sigurna Srpska’ movement, following the social media sharing of an old video. Additionally, reports emerged regarding a consulting firm representing Republika Srpska distributing materials in the United States concerning historical links between certain actors in the September 11 attacks and the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
