Bosnian Serbs Elect New President Amid Dodik's Influence

In the Bosnian Serb-run region, a snap election was held following the removal of pro-Russian leader Milorad Dodik. Dodik, known for his separatist policies, was convicted for disobeying orders and stepped down as president. The election saw Sinisa Karan, backed by Dodik, and Branko Blanusa, a university professor, as main contenders. Dodik actively campaigned for Karan, promising to continue fighting for political goals. The complex political structure was established by a US-brokered peace agreement after a bloody ethnic conflict that killed over 100,000 people.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
