00:00:00of all that we have received by 8 AM, you know that
00:00:03polling stations are not closed, you know that votes from
00:00:07abroad, absentee votes, votes via
00:00:10mobile team, unconfirmed ballots have not been counted.
00:00:14Our turnout in general elections has been
00:00:18trending over all these years until the last
00:00:21elections in 2022.
00:00:25it was between 55 and
00:00:2856%.
00:00:31In 2022, it was 51.4%,
00:00:35in the last local elections
00:00:3648.14%.
00:00:39Now we are at 42%, but this is not the voter turnout in Bosnia
00:00:43and Herzegovina, it will certainly be higher after
00:00:46we count all the votes tonight and in the coming days, but
00:00:50it is possible that it will be lower, this is now for deeper analyses
00:00:54that this institution does not deal with, it will be dealt with by civil
00:00:58society organizations and and the academic community, all
00:01:02those who deal with research,
00:01:04but personally I share the opinion that these
00:01:08are more realistic pictures of our
00:01:22remarks, so on the website there will
00:01:26be and will remain preliminary
00:01:29results. obtained by transmission from the ballot
00:01:32scanners, at this moment the polling
00:01:36committees are manually counting the ballots, they
00:01:40are entered into a special application in
00:01:43the coming days there will be a comparison
00:01:46manually, the results obtained by manual counting
00:01:50via scanner and their matching, probably
00:01:54some special decisions of the central election commission will follow, but
00:01:58what is important for you to know,
00:02:00when we plan to publish
00:02:04the election results that were obtained by manual counting,
00:02:07the public will be informed, until further notice the preliminary
00:02:11results obtained
00:02:21shorter election night, we already have projections,
00:02:25results from more than 80% of counted
00:02:29votes, let's go now. to the press conference of SNSD,
00:02:32Milorad
00:02:33Dodik is addressing the public.
00:02:37as even in 20 we record the best possible
00:02:39victory, I will not
00:02:41mention the numbers,
00:02:45I will not announce the numbers, you have them all nicely on the screens,
00:02:49you see them as do we, uh, I want to say that the
00:02:52election day was successful that the atmosphere
00:02:55for weeks was on our side, we felt it
00:02:58every time... everywhere, I thank all the people
00:03:02who attended any gathering of our party that we held across the Republic
00:03:06of Srpska, over 120 thousand people passed through our
00:03:09gatherings in the Republic of Srpska, which speaks about the fact that it was already
00:03:13anticipated that it would be like this, today
00:03:17we have confirmation of our policies, these are our policies today that we
00:03:21presented in the campaign, now people's policies, winning policies
00:03:24and let no one ask us to change our political stance
00:03:28that we presented. Our political stances remain
00:03:31firm and will not be changed, this is a vow
00:03:35to the people, this is an oath to the people that we gave,
00:03:38and Savo, and Željka, and our entire party, we will not
00:03:41give up on that, and we will only go further for the benefit of our
00:03:45people, bravo, I want
00:03:46to
00:03:54I want to thank all our friends who
00:03:57helped us, I will say, I dare to say, that if
00:04:00there had not been a magnificent victory of Donald Trump, if
00:04:04he had not removed that hated Biden structure, we would probably
00:04:07be politically dead today, but now, thanks to that new
00:04:11environment, now we are political winners and we intend
00:04:15to verify that, I thank of course President Putin
00:04:18who received us and wished us success in these elections, that was important
00:04:37I can't believe that we won like this, all of this,
00:04:40anyway, anyway,
00:04:42I am very glad that the nervousness that Savo Minić had
00:04:46until recently was removed as soon as he looked at
00:04:49the number,
00:04:56I thank all these young people, all our members. "This is
00:05:00a strike headquarters, this is, this is something
00:05:03that does not exist in these parts, I will not
00:05:06elaborate on what it is, but anyway, look at them, they
00:05:10worked day and night with 2000..." 200 something of our
00:05:13local community presidents had several conversations with all
00:05:16the local community presidents during the day, that's at least
00:05:2010,000 conversations that we had,
00:05:24I will not say anything to those who lost everything they could
00:05:27lose, they are now fighting among themselves who is there, who is here, I have no idea, I
00:05:31don't want to and I don't care what they are, anyway, I will say that
00:05:34it's not very smart for them to now try to
00:05:37explain it family voting, well that's a great
00:05:40thing, if they thought we enabled family voting, we
00:05:44are happy about that, because we are a party that really cherishes family, unlike
00:05:48some others who cherish other things, so in that regard I
00:05:52accept the complaints, yes our
00:05:55families came out in full to the elections and were persistent
00:05:59in standing to
00:06:06is the fact that out of 100, how many Željka is in the home
00:06:09uh home here as it is called z.
00:06:13"in which home here in Banja Luka, of pensioners, home for the elderly, home
00:06:17of pensioners, that there Željka received 180 votes
00:06:21all 180, and that Savo Mini lost two or three
00:06:36victory, we will continue to work responsibly, grateful to all
00:06:39our friends, I thank..." President
00:06:43Vučić and his team and I wish
00:06:46them good success
00:06:50and results in the elections that are coming and we believe that
00:06:53for the Republic of Srpska this is very important and in that regard I believe that
00:06:57we will catch this wave, this tide, what is
00:07:00the main thing, it's not a pier, it's a tide a tide that
00:07:03we raised that it will also
00:07:06affect Serbia in that way and
00:07:10better, and that we will continue
00:07:13to work for the well-being of the Serbian people, this changes many things, this,
00:07:17this redefines political relations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in Bosnia and
00:07:21Herzegovina, which is, dear viewers, we heard
00:07:24the first messages from the president of SNSD, after what he calls
00:07:27the magnificent victory of his party at all
00:07:30levels, let's go now to the Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:07:34and there at this moment the address
00:07:48we are at the end of this election day, election cycle
00:07:512026, first of all, as far
00:07:55as the Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina is concerned, we are truly satisfied
00:07:58that the elections were conducted in the best
00:08:02possible order according to our information except for a number
00:08:06of minor incidents that occurred, there was great apprehension
00:08:09given that this is the first time with new technologies
00:08:13that elections are conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but from what
00:08:16we see now, we can consider that the
00:08:19elections uh 2026
00:08:22were successfully completed, we congratulate Cik,
00:08:26we congratulate OSC, who tirelessly
00:08:29this gave its support to all of this. As
00:08:33for the Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina, we are satisfied
00:08:36with these preliminary results, we have
00:08:39uh, we are the fourth party in
00:08:42the Federation - behind SDA, SDP and
00:08:45HDZ, we are the fourth party, so
00:08:49we can be satisfied, given that
00:08:52all these parties that were until now in
00:08:56the ruling coalition remained far behind us
00:08:59and what remains is to wait for these
00:09:0220% of votes to be counted, as far as the
00:09:06candidate for the Presidency member is concerned, we are quite
00:09:09satisfied, we expect that the difference...
00:09:12has narrowed, we are not yet sure from which regions, geographically
00:09:16the processed data has arrived at the central
00:09:19election commission, but it is to be expected that
00:09:22there may be some significant changes, pardon,
00:09:25these 20% that are still left to
00:09:28finalize the counting of votes. Will
00:09:32you be an unavoidable factor in forming the government, given that you are
00:09:37the state level, the federation, and in the Sarajevo
00:09:40canton, specifically the third party.
00:09:42"Based on what we see now from these election results, the Party for Bosnia and
00:09:46Herzegovina will be unavoidable in forming the government
00:09:49both at the state, and at the federal, and at the cantonal
00:09:53levels, uh, honestly, we don't have all the information yet regarding
00:09:57the cantonal assemblies from the federation,
00:10:00but what we have so far,
00:10:04the results are satisfactory and it seems to me that we are
00:10:07in
00:10:10eight cantons already a parliamentary party.
00:10:12party, but we will check again until it is
00:10:34and Herzegovina is a party of principles, principledness, so of course,
00:10:37with whoever we talk to, it will be the program first on the table,
00:10:41we did that in 2022. unfortunately when the partners
00:10:45were not ready to accept
00:10:49the program that we advocated for and promised to the citizens, we
00:10:53gave up entering the government, our principle remains
00:10:56the same, we will act in the same way, if
00:10:59they want, as was our slogan in this election campaign, to
00:11:03move Bosnia and Herzegovina forward together, we are here, uh
00:11:07of course we will participate and it is in our interest to fulfill
00:11:10as many of those pre-election promises as we promised that we would
00:11:14kickstart the economy, industry, production
00:11:17of domestic food and everything
00:11:24the statement. Imalasmajić from the Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina, now we will
00:11:27analyze the results of these two parties and the messages from the press
00:11:31conference of the Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina and before that SNSD,
00:11:35i.e. Milorad Dodik, Svetlana Cenić, Ibrahim Prohić further in our
00:11:38studio, let's start with Dodik, Ms.
00:11:41Cenić, let's go back to that question, 10 years ago,
00:11:44the same questions, the same answers, Milorad
00:11:47Dodik, it's incredible that SNSD
00:11:51won so convincingly in Republika Srpska and that crucial
00:11:55question that was before these elections, can SNSD
00:11:58be removed from parliamentary majorities,
00:12:09about mathematics, it's unnatural that the man has been in
00:12:13power for almost 20 years,
00:12:15uh, not almost, but it is 20
00:12:19years, now I remember that it was 2006,
00:12:222026, March 1st. so that's in this
00:12:26other, so he's been in power for 20 years, what do you think, how many
00:12:30public companies, how many
00:12:32institutions, so that's all SNSD
00:12:36with a few of these satellite ones, but when he
00:12:39lets them in, now multiply that by the members of their
00:12:42family, they will always vote for nothing to change and
00:12:46they are doing well, so
00:12:55uh, because, I don't think there's even
00:12:58a need, because to the question what
00:13:02are you, what will you change, what do you offer,
00:13:06there is no answer, except the standard fight against
00:13:09corruption, I don't know what, here we
00:13:13will stop it, none of that holds water until
00:13:17you go door to door regarding villages,
00:13:21smaller communities, and this campaign which...
00:13:25was abundantly funded, we know where from, as for
00:13:28Draško Stanivuković who
00:13:31is, those people around him, that is, that
00:13:34movement, did get a large
00:13:38number of votes, I must say, they will be in
00:13:41parliament, but that Draško
00:13:44Stanivuković will be prime minister, I don't believe it, because
00:13:47I mean, I don't know, I think
00:13:51I would be shocked if Milorad Dodik, next to Savo
00:13:54Min "uh him alive, his
00:13:58son, and family, I don't
00:14:01know what he says to Draško Stanivuković, "here
00:14:04you need me in a coalition, you'll be prime minister,"
00:14:07no, son, I mean, not for a long time, and what his
00:14:11political career will be, we will see, yes, but look, it's very interesting, Dodik
00:14:15himself says, if it wasn't for Trump's victory, we would be
00:14:29say soon when they come to work, today is
00:14:33that date, 8 o'clock, and thank you President
00:14:36Trump, uh, he will tomorrow be, if
00:14:39he is welcomed, he will probably welcome the next
00:14:43president, both of Serbia and
00:14:46America, he will thank that president,
00:14:50just remember how many ambassadors he escorted
00:14:53and it was always the fault of the former administration, the former
00:14:57ambassador, tomorrow, if it were to be, I always
00:15:01say that, if Nigeria were to be a significant factor, no
00:15:05matter what in the world, he would be for Nigeria,
00:15:08of course, you see that he thanks both Trump and Putin,
00:15:11he only forgot the Chinese president, I
00:15:15appeal to the Chinese to protest, because I think,
00:15:18Mr. Xi deserved Milorad Dodik to thank
00:15:22him, he wasn't fresh in post.
00:15:34that uh... the mentioned
00:15:38Trump, if we put aside the populism that
00:15:42Dodik constantly engages in,
00:15:45it is not unimportant to say that the
00:15:48general trends in the world have somehow
00:15:52influenced these elections here as well. After all, let me just
00:15:55remind you that the latest information in
00:15:59Germany, uh these
00:16:02repainted or disguised fascists or
00:16:05pro-fascists have
00:16:07new polls at 30% in a new place, which
00:16:11means that they are becoming the leading party in
00:16:14Germany, excluding Sanchez
00:16:17in Spain and some other individual cases where socialists
00:16:21won more as an incident, you have an undeniable
00:16:24trend in which the
00:16:33is not an isolated island, it cannot be immune to it, no one
00:16:36can. "there is no country in the world that is an island,
00:16:40especially Bosnia and Herzegovina which is de
00:16:43facto a protectorate and which de facto depends on
00:16:47external factors and external influences, of course, and lobbyists who
00:16:51have their price, so it is, so therefore everything is bought
00:16:55with money, they don't know what left, right is, they only know about
00:17:04information uh of this political analyst
00:17:07from Buka Trifunović I think he said
00:17:11that 6 million
00:17:14marks were spent on billboards in
00:17:17RS, there is no information
00:17:20for the federation, but it is logical to assume that the figure is somewhere around
00:17:23there, but Transparencia published the exact data
00:17:38I know that no one gives money just like that,
00:17:42as it would be said in jargon, because
00:17:46uh they like some ideology or political programs
00:17:49of a certain party, but because they expect to
00:17:53get benefits when the government is structured, if
00:17:57this analysis of mine is correct, then it means that the donations
00:18:00given to political parties are not donations, but they are
00:18:04investments because tomorrow after the election they will get
00:18:08a tender, a tender that will be rigged and in which only
00:18:12the picture will be missing, that's right, only the picture of
00:18:15the pretender in relation to the favorite for whom
00:18:19it is, after all, there is no need for me to
00:18:22argue what I am saying, because it has become a basic
00:18:26fact, one more thing to keep in
00:18:30mind, why is my claim confirmed by these
00:18:33results that the social being and political being in
00:18:50for change in B&H is markedly
00:18:54extremely low, one of
00:18:56the reasons is what my colleague Svetlana said, that means that
00:19:00a terribly large number of people
00:19:03are in the structure, they, a terribly
00:19:06large number. "People in one
00:19:09way or another depend on this government and they don't
00:19:12want the government to change, I made an
00:19:16approximation, that is about a million people,
00:19:19we saw a moment ago the data that the total
00:19:22is three million and 400,000,
00:19:25about two million came out, which means
00:19:29these parties that are in power, not only in power, but
00:19:33dispose of budgets and state uh
00:19:36resources. Before the elections, they get 50%
00:19:39of the votes, they have a secure 50% of the votes. We will continue
00:19:43our conversation, we are being informed that the press conference of HDZ Bosnia and
00:19:46Herzegovina, Borina Krišto, is addressing at this
00:19:49moment.
00:19:54The institution of the presidency, of course, and the House of Peoples. Uh,
00:19:57that one campaign, I would say, showed that
00:20:01indeed the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:20:04is a consistent, credible party,
00:20:08because it was a factor
00:20:12in power at certain levels, that was shown, and especially
00:20:15from the aspect of its political representatives in institutions and government
00:20:19bodies where decisions were made, responsibility and progress were shown,
00:20:22everything that is actually
00:20:26needed for Bosnia and Herzegovina was shown, it was shown
00:20:29that Bosnia and Herzegovina is a state of three constituent peoples,
00:20:32that Bosnia and Herceg Bosnia and
00:20:35Herzegovina must make progress
00:20:38only on the principle of consensus, dialogue,
00:20:41mutual respect, not use some rhetoric that will set us all
00:20:45back, and with all that, here we are in some
00:20:49time that... "for the first time, we entered this election
00:20:53cycle with new technologies, there was a lot of talk
00:20:56about that before, how some who are winners, are
00:21:00some who stole elections and so on, I don't know what
00:21:03some political parties will say about that today, I can
00:21:07only tell you at this moment that the Croatian Democratic
00:21:11Union, as before, so today, has become
00:21:14a recognizable force, actually the pivotal party in the Croatian
00:21:17people, the strongest." force when it comes to the Croatian
00:21:21people in Bosnia and Herzegovina, at this moment I can say that
00:21:25over 90% of votes have been counted,
00:21:28I can tell you that with pride we have
00:21:32a Croatian member of the presidency, Ms. Darjana
00:22:00So we heard the press conference of Borina Krišto from
00:22:04HDZ, perhaps this last sentence is the most
00:22:06significant at this moment, she said that Darjana Filipović is the new member
00:22:10of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, we will analyze the
00:22:14results of both HDZ and SDP and the Party for Bosnia and
00:22:17Herzegovina, whose press we watched earlier,
00:22:20however, the winner of the elections in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:22:24is definitely the Party of Democratic Action, we are waiting for
00:22:27the press conference of Bakir Izedbegović or someone from the party presidency and until then we go to
00:22:31our Tina Jelin Dizdar to see what the atmosphere is like. Tina, what
00:22:34is the atmosphere now in the Party of Democratic
00:22:37Action, more than 90% of the
00:22:39ballots have been counted. Yes, they certainly have reasons for
00:22:43satisfaction.
00:22:46So Amire, at this moment, truly, Aila, there is no one here yet.
00:22:50here, we are in the election headquarters of the Party of Democratic Action in this part
00:22:53for journalists, you see behind my back, somewhere about
00:22:57half an hour ago, this application of the Party of Democratic Action was abandoned, which
00:23:00for all these previous years was a good guide to
00:23:04who would win at some point, truly the central election commission
00:23:08took the lead, much faster those votes were coming in, and
00:23:12at the moment when these election results were announced,
00:23:16at that time, Bakir Izedbegović was still leading on this application, the latest information is Denis
00:23:20Bečirović 202,000, Bakir
00:23:24Izedbegović 180,000, so over 180, Semir Efendijić
00:23:28137,000,
00:23:30it will be interesting to hear Bakir Izedbegović, because we believe that what will
00:23:34happen is that it will be said that a large
00:23:38number of those votes that should have gone to Bakir Izedbegović actually
00:23:41went to Semir Efendijić and that those
00:23:44votes were actually missing for Bakir Izedbegović to be
00:23:47again a member of the Presidency from the Bosniak people, on the other
00:23:51hand, Amire, you also heard what we could see up to this point,
00:23:54so individually the Party of Democratic Action remains
00:23:58the first party in Bosnia and Herzegovina with the number of votes won,
00:24:01it was the same four years ago, so
00:24:04477 candidates SDA has at all levels,
00:24:07including of course the member of the Presidency from the Bosniak people and what is
00:24:11interesting, so these analyses will only be done, so
00:24:15we still don't have those 100% and manual counting is still coming
00:24:17that the... individual party won about
00:24:2150 thousand votes more than
00:24:24Bakir Izedbegović himself, so, there were those who
00:24:28voted for SDA, but did not vote for Bakir Izedbegović and that will
00:24:31of course be one of the questions we will ask him, I
00:24:35assume that they are waiting for those 100% from the central election
00:24:39commission, after that the address, in any case the Party of Democratic Action has
00:24:42something to celebrate here, so
00:24:46what we could see, these data are constantly updated on...
00:24:50the website of the central election commission, there will be more
00:24:52than double the mandates, I mean, in the parliamentary assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina
00:24:56compared to SDA, also when you count the votes,
00:25:00so the triple alliance and even BH Greens for the parliamentary
00:25:03assembly, again, so the Party of Democratic Action has
00:25:07a larger number of votes compared to the parties of the triple alliance, but compared
00:25:11to those parties that were around the triple alliance,
00:25:15such as, for example, Fod Kasumović,
00:25:17i.e. BH Greens. So,
00:25:21I say, more will be said about
00:25:24that in the coming days, also at the federal
00:25:27level, the convincingly first party and what is interesting is especially that
00:25:31The race for the Sarajevo Canton, it seems to me, according to these latest
00:25:34projections, that the Democratic Action Party could form a government,
00:25:38so without, that is,
00:25:41with Željko Komšić, without the Party for Bosnia and Herzegovina, which,
00:25:45as we saw, absolutely, so in relation to
00:25:48those results before. four years, so indeed
00:25:52the number of votes has increased, so in
00:25:55relation to what we saw in the Sarajevo Canton, but in relation to other
00:25:59levels of government, in any case, we await the arrival.
00:26:03Bakir Izetbegović, so his address once
00:26:06again, Denis Bećirović will certainly
00:26:10be a new member of the Presidency from the Bosniak ranks,
00:26:13but as things stand now,
00:26:16the coalition of the Democratic Action Party, we will see if it
00:26:20will be with Željko Komšić tomorrow, i.e.
00:26:23the Democratic Front, a possible party for Bosnia and
00:26:26Herzegovina, I will just remind you of
00:26:29those statements, appearances we had in this post-
00:26:32election campaign. Nermin Nikšić very clearly
00:26:36stated that he will not enter into any coalitions with the Democratic Action Party, something
00:26:39more moderate in his statements was Bakir
00:26:43Izetbegović, so the president of the SDA, but that is
00:26:46also one of the questions that await him here at the press conference when he appears in the
00:26:49studio,
00:26:52thank you Tina, for now live from the headquarters of the Democratic Action Party is our Tina Jelin
00:26:56Dizdar, well, you saw that the SDA is the winner of the elections in the
00:26:59Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but Bakir Izetbegović, "for the second time in a
