Milorad Dodik Biography

Milorad Dodik is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on March 12, 1959 in Banja Luka, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Milorad Dodik, Serbian Cyrillic Milorad Dodik, pronounced [milorad dodik]; born 12 March 1959), is a Bosnian Serb politician currently serving as the Serb member at the Presidency in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This collective head of state is called the federal head of government.

He also formed the Independent Members of Parliament Caucus, Klub nezavisnikh poslanika u Narodnoj Skupshtini Republike Srpske; Klub nezavisnih poslanika u Narodnoj Skupstini Republike Srpske), the only political opposition of the Serb Democratic Party, Srpska demokratska stranka. This party held the absolute majority of the war-time parliament of Republika Srpska. He chaired the caucus that formed the core of the Party of Independent Social Democrats, or SNSD, in 1996 after the Dayton Agreement was signed. As the first president of SNSD, he was elected. Later, the party merged with another social- democratic party and formed the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats. Dodik is its President.

The leader of the nationalist Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD), he has occupied a number of political positions in Republika Srpska (RS), the Serb-majority entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Dodik was the Prime Minister of RS from 1998–2001 and 2006–2010 and the President of RS from 2010–2018.

During the campaign for the 2006 general election, following Montenegrin independence, Dodik said that Republika Srpska didn’t rule out its right for an independence referendum. At the election, Dodik’s SNSD won 46.9% percent of votes, while the SDS won 19.5%. The international community saw him as a moderate democratic leader of Republika Srpska. Dodik had support from Western countries that were seeking to marginalise the Serbian nationalists. They believed that they had found an alternative in Dodik. After he became a prime minister, the West continued to support him at the expense of Serb nationalist parties. The Western countries promised that, if Dodik remains the prime minister, Republika Srpska would receive Western economic assistance. The OHR and the Western powers also wanted to ensure that he realised his promise to return 70,000 Croat and Bosniak refugees to Republika Srpska.

Dodik, much like the SNSD was initially seen as a moderate and reformist option to the ultra-nationalist Serb Democratic Party in the 1990s and 2000s. Since then, however, Dodik and the SNSD have pursued an increasingly- nationalist and separatist line, invoking the right of the Bosnian Serbs to self-determination. His time at power was not only filled with nationalist rhetoric but also included authoritarianism and discredit of federal Bosnian institutions. He also had closer connections to Russia and Serbia.
