Political Program

Milorad Dodik stands for Bosnia and Hercegovina organized as decentralized, federative state, with the RS as one federative unit. Dodik believes that Bosnia and Herzegovina, as multinational state, needs a sophisticated political system which would distribute political power equally, in order to protect its citizens' rights and prevent any of its constitutional nations' from being in a permanent political minority. Dodik believes that the introduction of a simple "one person-one vote" system would lead to the country being unfairly dominated by the Bosniaks, and that it would be inappropriate in such a complex multinational state. Mr Dodik also believes in the economy as primary driver of the recovery of both the Republika Srpska and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ethnic map of BIH, 2006. ...

Mr. Dodik today enjoys for post war politician an unprecedented popularity in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Today, his political programs reach not only to Serbs, who are still his principal constituent, but also to other voters: He delivers promise of economically strong and thus viable Bosnia and Herzegovina to Bosniaks, as well as new chance to protect endangered ethnical identity to Croats. Nowdays Mr Dodik behaves like a chetnik(Serbs'illegal forces during The Second World War that commited crime and slaughthered a lot of Muslims and Croats in Bosnia and especially in East Herzegovina)but now there is NATO and High Representative of International Community and he is not able to do something similar and because of that he is nervous and frustrated hating all things refer to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Political career

He graduated from the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Belgrade with an M.A. in Political Science. From 1986 through 1990 he was the President of the Executive Board of the Municipal Assembly of Laktaši (i.e. the municipal "prime minister"). In 1990, in the first multi-party elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina he was elected to the Parliament of the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as a candidate of the Union of Reform Forces. During the War in Bosnia, he served as a representative in the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska. During that time, he formed the Independent Members of Parliament Caucus (Клуб независних посланика у Народној Скупштини Републике Српске/Klub nezavisnih poslanika u Narodnoj Skupštini Republike Srpske), which arguably confronted the Serb Democratic Party (Српска демократска странка/Srpska demokratska stranka), which had the absolute majority in the war-time parliament of the Republika Srpska.

During the years in opposition, he concentrated on the strengthening of his political party, which swept the elections in October 2006. During the election campaign, which he led under the slogan "RS, a better part of BiH" he stood opposite to the calls from the other BiH entity (namely from the Bosniak-dominated Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina (SBiH)) for the abolishment on the Republika Srpska. In response to this, he called for a referendum on the secession of the RS from BiH, albeit the referendum is not legal in Bosnia. The Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnian: Stranka za Bosnu i Hercegovinu) is a political party in Bosnia and Herzegovina. ...
