[00:00:00] is the division of electoral spoils to
[00:00:03] a smaller number of actors than it has been so far, and it
[00:00:07] will be easier for them to rule than it was for these people in these
[00:00:11] these four years, but nothing crucial and significant will
[00:00:16] that, just let me finish change. There will be no more Bosnia and Herzegovina, there will
[00:00:18] be no fewer blockades than there have been so far.
[00:00:21] If what I am saying now is denied
[00:00:25] in the next few years, I will, I will
[00:00:28] be satisfied. Mrs. Cenić, there were more
[00:00:32] press conferences that we didn't get to. Here, soon we will mention Semir Efendić. Let's go to
[00:00:36] his press conference, but we didn't get to comment on Željko
[00:00:39] Komšić at all. If I understood correctly, he will not be the bearer
[00:00:43] for the state
[00:00:44] energy carried SBIH to parliament, no, he will not get a mandate. This is a big defeat
[00:00:48] for DF. Yes, it's a big defeat, but as I
[00:00:52] said earlier, why vote for a copy when you can vote for
[00:00:55] the original? They have been connected to SDF for a long time,
[00:00:59] and... "Is that right, they called them DF and
[00:01:02] SDA together and
[00:01:04] simply that number of votes poured
[00:01:08] into SDA, so nothing surprises
[00:01:11] me that he says that citizens did not vote for a civic
[00:01:15] idea, for which, no, that has nothing to do with a civic idea.
[00:01:19] First, we need to reconcile with that. We should have
[00:01:22] reconciled with that a long time ago. Uh, we don't have, there is no
[00:01:26] left here, not in Bosnia and Herzegovina."
[00:01:30] "There is no left. The fact that they title
[00:01:32] their party's name with such a designation,
[00:01:36] that has nothing to do with the essence, with what
[00:01:40] it is, with what they represent. Uh,
[00:01:43] furthermore, uh, one cannot base rhetoric
[00:01:46] on 'we are citizens, civic, we
[00:01:50] advocate for', and this, let's say, story about
[00:01:54] lilies doesn't work. You know, you can do it one year,
[00:01:58] another year, a third, but..."
[00:02:00] "You can't constantly serve the same story
[00:02:04] and expect different
[00:02:07] results. I think that is DF's
[00:02:10] problem, the problem of the Democratic Front.
[00:02:13] Who else do you know besides Željko Komšić,
[00:02:17] perhaps Dženan Džonlagić,
[00:02:20] right? Uh, who else do you know from DF? Where are
[00:02:24] they? Miro Lazović is there, but Miro Lazović
[00:02:28] was in SDP and I don't know, SDU or
[00:02:31] what do I know what the parties were called, and now he's
[00:02:36] intense race, which was the in DF, but I'm talking about what is some kind of electoral
[00:02:40] headquarters or something broader, some
[00:02:43] DF body. There is none of that. Mr. Prohić, I owe you
[00:02:46] a comment on this. Let's go to the press conference under the spotlight, and then we'll
[00:02:49] return
[00:02:52] to the discussion. There were polling stations that started late and that in certain
[00:02:56] situations, due to the implementation of new technologies and the unpreparedness of...
[00:03:00] in situations, members of the polling committees caused these delays. We particularly
[00:03:04] monitored the treatment of voters who were present at the polling station or in front
[00:03:07] of it at the time of closing. According to the findings
[00:03:11] of our observers, at 30.2% of polling stations,
[00:03:14] voters were allowed to vote, while at
[00:03:17] something to, they have something to boast about at 3.6% of polling stations, this was not possible. At
[00:03:20] 66.2% of polling stations, there were no voters present at 7
[00:03:23] o'clock at the polling station or in front of it.
[00:03:27] Regarding the composition of polling committees, we monitored that all members of the polling committees
[00:03:31] were present at the time of closing the polling station, at a negligible 1%, not all
[00:03:35] members were present. At polling stations where new
[00:03:39] technologies are applied, the operator was not present at the closing of the polling station at
[00:03:42] 2.7% of polling stations. After
[00:03:45] the last voter voted, we monitored whether the president of the polling committee, using
[00:03:49] the pin, set the scanner status to
[00:03:52] "closed polling station." This was done at
[00:03:54] 99.4% of polling stations, while at 0.5%
[00:03:58] of polling stations, this procedure was not performed. At
[00:04:01] 0.1% of polling stations, the scanner was not
[00:04:03] used. We also monitored whether the scanner, after voting was completed,
[00:04:07] printed the consolidated report on the voting results at the polling station for all
[00:04:11] levels of government, i.e., the so-called FER. According to the reports
[00:04:14] of our observers, the scanner printed the FER at 99.2%
[00:04:18] of polling stations, while this was not done at
[00:04:20] 0.7%.
[00:04:23] Also, we checked whether our observers received a copy of the consolidated
[00:04:26] report. It was handed over at 94.3% of polling
[00:04:30] stations, while at 5.1% it was not, even though it
[00:04:33] was a clear instruction from the Central Election Commission that our observers must
[00:04:37] receive that report. Regarding the device for electronic
[00:04:41] identification and authentication of voters, we monitored whether the president of the polling
[00:04:44] committee, after the completion of voting, used the PIN to put the device into
[00:04:48] "election closing" status. This was done at 99.2% of polling
[00:04:52] stations, while at 0.8% it was not. And
[00:04:55] finally, we monitored the electronic transmission of results from the scanner before the start of the manual
[00:04:59] count. The electronic transmission of results was performed at
[00:05:02] 98.4% of polling stations, while at 1.2%
[00:05:06] it was not. We specifically recorded any
[00:05:09] problems during the electronic transmission of results. Problems
[00:05:12] during transmission were recorded at 10.9% of polling
[00:05:15] stations, while at 88.7%
[00:05:18] of polling stations such problems were not recorded. Uh,
[00:05:22] during the day, we certainly monitored whether some of the more serious forms of electoral
[00:05:26] irregularities were occurring, or, let's say,
[00:05:28] certain possible problems at the polling stations themselves. We
[00:05:32] recorded about a hundred, over a hundred, in fact, more serious forms of electoral
[00:05:35] irregularities, of which the largest number referred, of course, from the very
[00:05:39] beginning of the polling station opening, to the prohibition of observation or obstruction of the
[00:05:42] observation process, problems with election materials, whether with
[00:05:46] a certain surplus or shortage of election materials, violation
[00:05:50] of election silence, irregularities in the voting process, violation of voting
[00:05:54] secrecy, failure to display the list of polling committee members with
[00:05:57] political affiliation to the subject, and various other
[00:06:00] types of electoral irregularities. I would
[00:06:03] just generally refer to the implementation of new
[00:06:07] election technologies. So, based on our observation, we can say that
[00:06:10] the implementation of new technologies was successful. This was not just a question
[00:06:14] of new devices, new procedures. This was a question of citizens' trust in
[00:06:18] elections, citizens' trust in elections. What
[00:06:21] we saw today is that there were certain technical challenges
[00:06:25] in the sense that at over 10% of polling
[00:06:28] stations, there were technical problems or device stoppages
[00:06:31] for biometrics, at over 17% of polling stations, we
[00:06:35] had stoppages, for example, of the scanners
[00:06:39] themselves, but therefore, such... challenges and
[00:06:43] situations need to be thoroughly analyzed and improved later,
[00:06:46] but the key thing is that the implementation of new technologies was not abandoned during the day,
[00:06:50] and the election process continued. For us, this is
[00:06:54] first and foremost a victory for the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina because they have the right to elections in
[00:06:57] which their vote will be fully protected. That is why this
[00:07:01] day should indeed be viewed as
[00:07:04] Herzegovina, in which we will have an election day without theft and fraud. I now
[00:07:08] hand the floor to Dario Jovanović, who will tell you more
[00:07:11] about the verification of voter turnout
[00:07:14] and results for the Presidency of Bosnia and
[00:07:17] Herzegovina.
[00:07:19] Good evening everyone, thank you for being with us all day.
[00:07:22] First of all, I congratulate the citizens
[00:07:25] of Bosnia and Herzegovina
[00:07:27] on the historic elections with new
[00:07:30] technologies that worked successfully
[00:07:34] at 99.5%
[00:07:37] of polling stations, with certain difficulties at
[00:07:41] between 9 and 16, depending on the
[00:07:44] device.
[00:07:47] We had the freest and fairest
[00:07:50] elections so far, whose results, as
[00:07:53] we can see, no one questions.
[00:07:56] I would
[00:07:58] like to thank the non-partisan ,
[00:08:02] citizen observers of the "Pod Lupom" coalition. So far,
[00:08:06] in the past 12 years, more than
[00:08:08] 17,000 of them have worked on protecting
[00:08:12] and improving elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[00:08:16] Today is a great victory, after
[00:08:19] 12 years of advocacy, since
[00:08:22] 2016, for new technologies. At the beginning, everyone
[00:08:25] laughed at us, thinking it wasn't
[00:08:28] possible, up until just two years ago when it still seemed
[00:08:32] impossible,
[00:08:35] up until a few days ago when some political entities were still
[00:08:38] attacking them, today no one questions them.
[00:08:42] Regarding the verification
[00:08:46] of voter turnout results, I will briefly refer to the data
[00:08:49] of the "Pod Lupom" coalition and cross-reference them with the data
[00:08:52] of the Central Election Commission. We received results from
[00:08:56] 837 polling stations. We also
[00:09:00] had 114 observers in mobile teams across
[00:09:03] the country. When we talk about
[00:09:07] turnout, the recorded turnout in the general elections
[00:09:10] in 2026 at... 19 hours was
[00:09:13] 42.6%.
[00:09:17] With a margin of statistical error of plus minus
[00:09:19] 0.35%.
[00:09:21] The incomplete turnout reported by the Central Election Commission at
[00:09:25] 7 PM was 41.45%.
[00:09:28] It is expected that you heard
[00:09:31] the turnout is less than 42%, which is truly
[00:09:35] a bad figure. We are going to the press conference of Semir Efendić, the multiple
[00:09:38] times chairman of the party for
[00:10:13] Mr. Efendić, so let's summarize the
[00:10:16] night, from the Presidency to lower
[00:10:20] levels of government, how would you evaluate all that? First of all, I would truly
[00:10:24] like to thank all the citizens of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina who had the right
[00:10:27] to vote and gave it to me, according to current results, close to
[00:10:31] 150,000 votes. This is truly a great result and shows
[00:10:34] great support for what we are doing in the party for Bosnia and Herzegovina, both me as
[00:10:38] president and our candidates at other levels. According
[00:10:41] to the votes counted so far or the results published by the
[00:10:44] Central Election Commission for the state parliament, that is around
[00:10:48] 66,000 votes, as well as for the parliament of the federation, which is a significant
[00:10:51] result. Also, in most cantons, the party for... Bosnia and
[00:10:55] Herzegovina will be parliamentary in Sarajevo Canton, which is again a respectable result with
[00:10:59] more than 30,000 votes. According to current estimates, eight
[00:11:02] mandates. According to these estimates, the state parliament should have
[00:11:06] approximately three mandates. Overall, truly a
[00:11:09] respectable support for the party for Bosnia and Herzegovina, and if we look at
[00:11:12] the trends compared to other parties and compared to this reduced
[00:11:16] number of voters who came out to vote, these trends for the party for
[00:11:20] Bosnia and Herzegovina are truly good. As for this main match, the result
[00:11:24] is what it is. We still have some votes to count, but
[00:11:27] that's roughly how it will probably end. I want
[00:11:31] the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina to be better off after these elections, for
[00:11:34] a government to be formed that will work more, that will work
[00:11:37] more concretely, that will incorporate some of what we,
[00:11:40] as a party, said needs to be done into its program and work on it in the coming
[00:11:44] years. That would be the most important thing.
[00:11:48] Here, if you have any more questions, who is it possible to see in
[00:11:51] the coming days to form some kind of
[00:11:54] coalition? We know that in recent days, the SDP, it seems to
[00:11:58] me, has come out publicly and said that it would not form any kind of coalition
[00:12:01] with some parties, but do you have any
[00:12:04] problems with that? Well, we'll see what
[00:12:06] the parties that were
[00:12:09] live are. The party for Bosnia and Herzegovina and
[00:12:12] its, well, we heard Semir Efendić from the party for
[00:12:16] Bosnia and Herzegovina. Mr. Prohić, I was just about to say,
[00:12:19] we commented on DF, i.e. Željko Komšić,
[00:12:23] then we'll move on to... what we just heard, what the
[00:12:27] president of DF said is much more than that personal dimension,
[00:12:31] he said some things, which are
[00:12:33] very important and which are significant for the overall uh social
[00:12:37] being in BiH. He said in
[00:12:40] his first sentence that the
[00:12:43] citizens have decided that there has again
[00:12:47] been a dispersion based on the ethnic
[00:12:49] principle.
[00:12:52] Uh, I don't agree with his assertion, "because it's
[00:12:56] only seemingly or apparently
[00:12:58] so. I think a more significant
[00:13:01] reason than some love for one's
[00:13:04] own ethnic being is
[00:13:08] the attitude of citizens towards the authorities who were
[00:13:11] there for these four years. It was
[00:13:14] a vote against, against them, against that
[00:13:17] trio, which was not
[00:13:21] as bad as it is thought to be, but it was..."
[00:13:25] much worse than it should have been and than it could have, could have
[00:13:28] been. Therefore, I contradict
[00:13:31] the claim that it is about an ideological
[00:13:34] return to the 90s, but
[00:13:37] rather the opposite. Uh, this was not a question
[00:13:41] of ideology, but this was
[00:13:44] a question of
[00:13:47] the citizens' attitude towards concrete results
[00:13:49] and expectations from certain political actors.
[00:13:53] So, uh... "Citizens punished
[00:13:57] the trio because it did not do what it promised
[00:14:00] and what it could have done in
[00:14:03] such a situation. Then we have it only seemingly appears
[00:14:07] that this is a return to the absolutization of the ethnic
[00:14:11] principle. Finally, let me say something else.
[00:14:13] Bosnia and Herzegovina cannot be pulled out of this political
[00:14:17] and social mud by a government
[00:14:19] that is..." uh, based
[00:14:23] on an ethnic matrix.
[00:14:26] BiH can be moved forward only
[00:14:30] by civic-oriented parties, i.e.,
[00:14:33] an authentic left, but not
[00:14:36] civic, non-civic parties like
[00:14:40] DF. Professor Zdravko Greboj
[00:14:42] once said of the president of a
[00:14:46] civic party that he was the greatest political pest in
[00:14:50] BiH. If he were alive, he might have said today.
[00:14:54] Well, since he's not here, I'll say that the president of DF
[00:14:57] is the greatest political damage in
[00:15:00] BiH in the last ten years, because he
[00:15:03] caused great harm to the civic
[00:15:07] option, uh, by declaratively
[00:15:11] playing for the civic and patriotic
[00:15:14] option towards BiH, he actually
[00:15:18] supported ethnic parties, specifically
[00:15:20] SDA the whole time. Let me remind the entire
[00:15:25] population of BiH that DF
[00:15:28] has three times overthrown civic
[00:15:31] options at the cantonal level, twice in
[00:15:34] Sarajevo Canton and once in
[00:15:37] Tuzla Canton. Therefore, his
[00:15:41] behavior was very harmful to
[00:15:44] the civic option. Let me just remind you that similar
[00:15:47] damage was done before him by SDA to the civic option. Let's talk about
[00:15:53] my thought. SDA once issued a declaration on the civic state of Bosnia
[00:15:56] and Herzegovina. Yes, that is very interesting. Uh, we are waiting for
[00:16:00] two more very important press conferences, our party and
[00:16:04] NIP. Here, at this moment, it seems that
[00:16:07] the president of the People and Justice party, Ermedin Konaković, is
[00:16:10] speaking. The entire campaign result, Semir
[00:16:14] Efendić in particular, with a very impressive result for
[00:16:18] a member of the Presidency, and it is clear that that
[00:16:21] a good result, perhaps a little
[00:16:25] unexpected, but truly genuine. Here, congratulations on such a
[00:16:29] result. People and Justice as a party that was perhaps most exposed
[00:16:32] to all kinds of different attacks, we naturally expected slightly better
[00:16:36] results. "The big problem was the low turnout, and somehow,
[00:16:40] in percentages, what we reviewed, we remained completely at the same
[00:16:43] level as the previous elections, proportionally, but the low
[00:16:47] turnout affected the number of mandates, so we are at two at the state level,
[00:16:50] five at the federation level, five at Sarajevo Canton
[00:16:54] as well. We are waiting for abroad, there it is possible that a sixth
[00:16:57] mandate could happen. We achieved good results in the Bosnian-Podrinje Canton, where
[00:17:01] we have a prime minister. There they are closer to the fourth than the third
[00:17:04] mandate, 70 votes with the party. The Democratic Action
[00:17:08] parliamentary party is still in Zenica-Doboj Canton,
[00:17:12] Central Bosnia Canton, two mandates are certain. In Tuzla
[00:17:15] Canton, the results were not what we hoped
[00:17:18] for or, let's say, more optimistically announced, but they are solid. Here, I saw
[00:17:22] that we are again among the top five parties in the Federation. There was that
[00:17:25] exchange between SBH and DF,
[00:17:29] they swapped positions, we stayed in our
[00:17:32] place. We will finish what our obligations are. We are waiting for
[00:17:35] the election winners to gather. Possibly coalitions. Our
[00:17:39] ultimatum, our demand from the beginning of the campaign to the end of the campaign, and
[00:17:43] even tonight, is that no government at the state level should be formed with SNSD.
[00:17:47] As much as possible, it seems to me that the opposition has more mandates
[00:17:51] than the required number, but the houses of peoples are awaited, and I think that
[00:17:54] it would be very important for Bosnia and Herzegovina that the Russian ship no longer
[00:17:58] obstruct European integrations, which should be the imperative
[00:18:02] of the new government, are reforms that we started, two laws to
[00:18:06] be adopted, negotiators to be gathered,
[00:18:08] to get to work uh as soon as possible. As for
[00:18:11] the Federation, I think that pressure can be put on HDZ so that they
[00:18:14] do not definitively condition that at the state
[00:18:18] level, uh, SNSD with this Milorad
[00:18:21] Dodik and his followers should be in power. It is possible
[00:18:25] to exert some pressure given the numbers that the opposition has
[00:18:28] in the uh uh part where the Croatian people
[00:18:32] form the majority, where representatives were elected. So, another
[00:18:36] electoral cycle for us, the work we do tomorrow,
[00:18:39] the mandates we take on, NIP is stable, strong, horizontally
[00:18:42] broad, we have many, about 70 organizations that
[00:18:46] worked hard. I am proud of this campaign, of its uh,
[00:18:50] both external and internal uh, its external and internal
[00:18:54] functionality. I don't think we offended or hurt anyone,
[00:18:57] and here tonight the
[00:19:14] Uh, congratulations to the SDP for Sarajevo Canton, they did an excellent job, and the damage is
[00:19:18] rewarded for the job they did well. It's a bit strange to us, at least in
[00:19:21] Sarajevo Canton, the large number of fantastic results of our ministers and
[00:19:25] mayors, and Muzur and Dovađije, but I said that, we
[00:19:28] were really the frontmen of that story. People had
[00:19:31] objections to the trio, we paid the highest price. We would still do
[00:19:34] everything the same, we wouldn't change, because that's our character, that's not
[00:19:38] a matter of any calculation. We don't
[00:19:41] calculate. There were objective criticisms that stand. Yesterday, the whole city
[00:19:45] had no water. That management, Vik and some other people we elected, did not
[00:19:48] respond to the task. It's logical that people react that way, to punish
[00:19:52] us. We are the government, that's how it should be, that's how it works in
[00:19:55] parliamentary democracies. We wouldn't call anyone for now.
[00:19:59] Let SDA gather power if it can, let them agree, with the
[00:20:03] understanding that it's probably a difficult task ahead of them, uh, given that
[00:20:06] vertical and the state and the federation and... I don't know if they are still
[00:20:10] considering that SNSD, HDZ, SDA coalition at all, whether it's
[00:20:13] possible. If not, then their leader must think carefully tonight
[00:20:17] about how to propose some coalition formation, but here, those to whom people
[00:20:20] entrusted mandates should take the greatest
[00:20:23] responsibility. We will be recognizable,
[00:20:27] the same, however it all ends. When we were in opposition in
[00:20:30] the previous mandate, we supported all good ideas, voted for
[00:20:34] all laws, never interfered between the state and... the interests
[00:20:37] of citizens to politicize. We will continue
[00:20:41] to be like that. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, some mathematical options will slowly
[00:20:44] crystallize. We will not only follow mathematical ones, we follow more of these
[00:20:58] why is that, do you already have some ideas, why
[00:21:01] did it happen, uh, I'm talking proportionally, we're at
[00:21:04] 1.5%, so at the state and federal level, identical.
[00:21:07] We had enormous enormous support in the last elections, we were
[00:21:11] really what ZBIH is now in the last elections, we were new,
[00:21:15] we didn't have the burden of power, we didn't have that responsibility. We said what should be
[00:21:19] done, we didn't say how it should be done, and people naturally
[00:21:21] entrusted their votes then to NIP, which was what
[00:21:25] SBIH is today. Now they decided to slightly change, we fully respect
[00:21:28] that in the analysis of some election results
[00:21:32] are yet to come, especially the engagement of people. I really have
[00:21:35] no objections, we have a super team in Brčko District of Bosnia and Herzegovina, we made
[00:21:38] huge progress there, we are also in power there. We will see, of course,
[00:21:42] who it is, whether our people perhaps underperformed somewhere, were less good,
[00:21:46] that is time ahead of us, but here tonight we are drawing a line under a
[00:21:49] difficult standard behind us, and I can say I am truly proud of it
[00:21:53] at all levels of government, the People and Justice party has done its
[00:21:56] job diligently, and here again I repeat, it has taken on
[00:22:00] burdens even where there are no points of contact with us.
[00:22:03] They accused us of everything, we accepted that
[00:22:06] responsibility. It looks solid considering
[00:22:10] everything we went through, is there no coalition
[00:22:12] with SSD? SDA decides on coalitions, let them
[00:22:16] arrange theirs, there is no coalition with SNSD anywhere, and...
[00:22:20] we are monitoring the development of events. Is anyone stopping it? Is everything okay? So,
[00:22:24] we heard, I think, Amira, all the press conferences we needed to hear.
[00:22:27] We can now hear our reporter Tatjana Drljić, who is in
[00:22:31] Banja Luka, currently at the SDS headquarters, but she was following
[00:22:34] developments in other headquarters. Tatjana, let's
[00:22:37] summarize the night. Well, more or less everything is
[00:22:47] closing of polling stations in Bosnia
[00:22:50] and Herzegovina, given that Radovan Kovačević, as
[00:22:54] the spokesman for SNSD, addressed the public already after 7 PM,
[00:22:58] so after the closing of polling stations, he announced that
[00:23:01] after 80, pardon after 18%
[00:23:05] of the votes counted, the advantage was convincingly on the side
[00:23:08] of SNSD. Not much time passed, already at 8:30
[00:23:12] PM, SNSD, led by party president
[00:23:15] Milorad Dodik, had declared victory, so
[00:23:19] at both levels. They were aiming for the biggest and
[00:23:23] most, let's say,
[00:23:26] race for the President of Republika Srpska and the race for the Serb
[00:23:29] member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The difference was convincingly
[00:23:33] on the side of SNSD candidates, i.e., Savo Minić is
[00:23:37] now, according to preliminary information,
[00:23:40] but quite certainly, the difference is
[00:23:43] such that the remaining votes
[00:23:47] that have not been counted cannot take away that
[00:23:51] advantage. Savo Minić is the new President of Republika Srpska,
[00:23:55] it seems, while Željka Cvijanović, of course, remains in the position of
[00:23:58] the Serb member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Certainly,
[00:24:02] as for uh success, they have
[00:24:07] the level of the National Assembly of Republika Srpska where they also
[00:24:10] achieved a convincing victory while they are
[00:24:13] followed by the Secure Srpska movement with about
[00:24:16] 15%, and below them is the party.
[00:24:20] The Serbian Democratic Party, parties that did not
[00:24:23] pass the census in the National Assembly are certainly
[00:24:26] the Coalition for the State, the party of Vlado Đajić, but also
[00:24:30] the party of Jelena Trivić, which is somewhat very
[00:24:32] surprising,
[00:24:34] there was a big difference precisely in those votes
[00:24:38] between Željka Cijanović and her
[00:24:41] opponent from the SDS who was therefore supported by the opposition in Republika Srpska
[00:24:45] Marinko Božović, in third place in the race for a member of
[00:24:49] the presidency was Vukanović with
[00:24:51] not enough votes, which caused great disappointment for
[00:24:55] Vukanović who somehow blamed
[00:24:57] the people for whom he says he was always there, but the people did not
[00:25:01] reciprocate. On the other hand, Branko Blanoša honorably
[00:25:05] conceded defeat here literally behind
[00:25:07] my back, he congratulated his political
[00:25:11] opponent Savo Minić, he said
[00:25:13] the remaining votes that have not been counted cannot change
[00:25:17] the fact that the new president will be quite
[00:25:20] certainly Minić, on the other hand, Mariko Božević, who therefore aspired
[00:25:23] to the position of a member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the ranks of
[00:25:27] the Serbian people, was visibly disappointed, all the blame,
[00:25:31] without naming him, he shifted to Nebojša Vukanović who,
[00:25:34] as he believes, somehow disunited
[00:25:37] the political opposition body, instead of siding with the opposition, as
[00:25:40] he says, he somehow went into that independent struggle, maybe
[00:25:44] he thereby drew, so to speak, votes that could
[00:25:48] have helped the opposition so that they could... be united to achieve
[00:25:51] a better election result,
[00:25:54] the results will certainly be analyzed, the SDS announced,
[00:25:58] Branko Bladuša did not say that he would resign
[00:26:01] from his new position, at least not yet, a deep analysis,
[00:26:04] a serious analysis of these, as they say,
[00:26:07] democratic results of the general elections, after which they will see
[00:26:11] in which direction the politics of the Serbian
[00:26:15] Democratic Party will move, but it will certainly remain in opposition
[00:26:18] that there is no room for any calculations
[00:26:21] with the SNSD which
[00:26:24] confirmed it remains the strongest political party in Republika
[00:26:28] Srpska.
[00:26:35] "the events in the SDS and
[00:26:37] SNSD, and now we go to our Tina Jelin Dizdar, who was in the Party of
[00:26:41] Democratic Action all the time and
[00:26:44] Tina, uh, what we saw, at least here, the pictures we
[00:26:48] saw from the SDA, namely, uh, the winning
[00:26:51] party, one of the winning parties of the SDA, everyone we saw,
[00:26:54] no one was smiling, the president of the party,
[00:26:57] probably very, not probably, but very disappointed that
[00:27:01] he did not enter." the presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but a very
[00:27:05] interesting picture that no one,
[00:27:08] Zahi Ragić for example and everyone else from the SDA, no one was
[00:27:11] smiling even though they achieved a great election result.
[00:27:25] Subtly, will he resign or not, a second defeat,
[00:27:29] let's be direct, so and a defeat by Denis
[00:27:33] Bećirović, he said today that he had a slightly higher number of
[00:27:37] votes compared to the previous elections, Efendić was also there who really
[00:27:40] got a significantly large
[00:27:44] number of votes, maybe that annoyed him, however,
[00:27:47] I didn't have that feeling, moreover, I had a feeling of some
[00:27:51] calm here in the Party of Democratic Action, as they said
[00:27:54] earlier, although they really didn't want to address the media
[00:27:58] before all these results, or until they
[00:28:01] hear, "and finally Denis Bećirović himself,
[00:28:05] so, as they say, they were sure of
[00:28:09] their victory, and indeed the Party of Democratic Action
[00:28:11] achieved a phenomenal success, well, it should be
[00:28:15] said, given that apart from those six cantons where they are
[00:28:18] convincingly the first party, uh, on the other hand
[00:28:21] they have a controlling stake in the House of Peoples in the House of Representatives,
[00:28:24] they probably doubled the number of mandates, similarly
[00:28:28] in the federal parliament, and now
[00:28:31] it will actually..." be seen in the coming days, Bakir
[00:28:34] Izetbegović also said with whom coalitions will have to be formed and where
[00:28:38] coalitions will have to be formed, so that
[00:28:42] is such a result that they
[00:28:45] achieved, Izetbegović himself on that question, again I return to, will he
[00:28:49] withdraw or not, several times we
[00:28:53] insisted on that and my colleagues said that the party will decide on that, that
[00:28:57] is less important, it is important that the Party of Democratic
[00:29:00] Action won and indeed... that, as I say, many
[00:29:04] more votes compared to the period of four
[00:29:07] years ago, and four years ago they were individually the strongest
[00:29:11] party, I will remind you with over 25%, now they say
[00:29:14] that they got twice as many votes
[00:29:18] and even when it is calculated in relation to the parliamentary assembly together with
[00:29:22] the number of votes for some individuals who entered there, so
[00:29:25] like Haris Zahragić, so he has three times
[00:29:29] more votes than some who have been in politics much longer. parties,
[00:29:33] but who were expected to cross, so
[00:29:37] that threshold, what will be interesting in the coming
[00:29:40] days really is who will
[00:29:44] form the government, negotiations are just starting,
[00:29:47] we asked Izetbegović what he thinks about the SNSD as
[00:29:50] the winner, what messages that sends, he roughly
[00:29:54] described the formation of the government as a joint-stock
[00:29:57] company, we are all aware of those mathematical coalitions, he says
[00:30:01] they will negotiate with those who are winners, that's how it is
[00:30:04] in Bosnia and Herzegovina, of course, if it is the SNSD, they will enter
[00:30:08] into talks with the SNSD, but it is known what the
[00:30:12] red lines are, that is the implementation of laws, that is the Dayton
[00:30:15] Peace Agreement, we know that the Party of
[00:30:18] Democratic Action declaratively advocates for
[00:30:22] the European, that is, or NATO path of Bosnia and
[00:30:25] Herzegovina, in any case it will be tough negotiations, on the other
[00:30:29] hand, it will be interesting to see by cantons how that goes, so
[00:30:32] the SDP won a really significant number of
[00:30:35] votes in Sarajevo Canton, will some new trio happen,
[00:30:39] is that possible, in any case, what
[00:30:43] Izetbegović sees, he was among the first to congratulate Efendić
[00:30:47] on a significant number, it is probably the Party for Bosnia and
[00:30:50] Herzegovina as possibly new partners.
[00:30:54] Studio,
[00:30:56] so it was Dina Elin Dizdar from the party's election headquarters.
