Milorad Dodik political activities in Republika Srpska

Overview

Milorad Dodik, leader of the SNSD, marked the 35th anniversary of the founding of the National Assembly of Republika Srpska by praising convicted war leaders Radovan Karadžić, Momčilo Krajišnik, and Ratko Mladić. He described them as “giants of the national struggle” and claimed their imprisonment was unjust. Dodik also expressed opposition to agreements with Bosniaks, identified himself as a nationalist, and advocated for automatic dual citizenship between Republika Srpska and Serbia.

Following these commemorations, Dodik also marked the anniversary of the Mitrovdan battles, noting historical casualties from the 1992 and 1994 offensives. Regarding international relations, Dodik suggested that following his attendance at a conference in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, there is a growing international recognition that Serbs have been “unfairly characterized.”

After returning from a visit to the Mar-a-Lago estate to attend a MAGA movement gathering, Dodik stated the trip provided Republika Srpska with greater visibility in American political circles. He reported speaking with various governors, business leaders, and influential figures, claiming the political narrative regarding Serbs is shifting. He expressed confidence that the Trump administration’s stance toward Bosnia and Herzegovina will remain stable despite recent US congressional election results.

Domestically, Dodik announced that the SNSD holds a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly of Republika Srpska. He confirmed a session is scheduled for November 16 to address the potential election of a new government and discussions regarding constitutional changes or amendments. In Banja Luka, Dodik announced that the new government formation process will begin on November 16, alongside the inauguration of Savo Minić as President of Republika Srpska and Željka Cvijanović as the Serbian member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Dodik has also criticized the Office of the High Representative and the decisions of Christian Schmidt, maintaining that such measures lack parliamentary legitimacy.
