Minic Leads Ahead of Blanusa in the Race for President of the RS

Preliminary results show SNSD candidate Savo Minic with 52.13% of votes, while Branko Blanusa trails at 41.95%, the election commission said.

  • On Sunday, SNSD candidate Savo Mini secured victory in the race for president of Republika Srpska, leading the field according to preliminary data from the Central Election Commission.
  • Bosnian Serb politician Milorad Dodik dominated the campaign despite being banned from holding public office after his conviction last year, inflaming divisions with separatist rhetoric that sparked fears of renewed instability.
  • Mini won 264,695 votes, or 52.13 percent, defeating SDS candidate Branko Blanuaa, who received 213,012 votes, or 41.95 percent, as the CEC reported results from 90.29 percent of processed polling stations.
  • Dodik's ally Zeljka Cvijanovic of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats also triumphed, securing more than 55 percent of votes to win one of the three seats in the country's tripartite presidency.
  • Shaped by economic pressures and the prospect of the Balkan nation joining the European Union, the election occurs amid ethnic tensions that have divided Bosnia and Herzegovina since the brutal 1992–95 war.
