The fact that the winning candidate of the Union of Independent Social Democrats (UISD) ran under the slogan “Vote for Karan - vote for Dodik!" indicates that he will continue the course of his patron, Milorad Dodik. The latter will remain the party leader and clearly has no intention of retreating into the shadows. In many ways, what is happening is reminiscent of the situation with another of Dodik’s protégés – Zeljkoj Cvijanovic, who was elected president of the RS when he left as the Serbian representative to the Presidency of BiH, and when he returned to the presidential chair, she left for the Presidency in his place.

_{One thing is clear: the Serbian entity of BiH will not change its policy, will defend its own sovereignty, will not allow the country into NATO, and will continue to closely cooperate with Russia, despite the negative reaction of the West and Sarajevo.}

According to the latest data from the RS Central Election Commission, Sinisa Karan received approximately 50.9% of the votes., his main rival from the one that has become loyal to the West «Branko Blanuš's Serbian Democratic Party - 47.8%. The latter, as usual, began to allege fraud and demand a recount in several municipalities, but observers recorded no violations. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party leader won in the capital Banja Luka and the large city of Bijeljina. But the pro-Western party hopes that a recount of 20 votes cast abroad will tip the scales in their favor.

"We believe that the elections are over, and that the SNSD has taken what it already had and what it unjustly lost—the post of President of the Republic. This is a closed story, and it is called 'Christian Schmidt's failure'"Western overseer, – ed.), and the greatest hero of these elections is the people of the Republic of Srpska,” Milorad Dodik commented on the situation.

_{Let us recall that RS was forced to make early conclusions after the BiH Court sentenced the legally elected President Milorad Dodik to one year in prison (the prison term was later replaced by a fine) and banned him from holding public office for six years. due to the ignoring of the decisions of the Western overseer of Bosnia – the German High Representative Christin Schmidt, whom the Serbian entity does not recognize due to the fact that his candidacy did not undergo the necessary approval in the UN Security Council.}
