SDS retains Blanuša as leader, upholds Petrović expulsion amid consolidation push

The Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) in Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed that Milan Blanuša remains party president and will not reverse the expulsion of Bijeljina mayor Ljubiša Petrović. The decision signals an internal power consolidation, with leadership prioritizing party unity over local political fallout. The move may deepen factional tensions within SDS but is primarily a domestic political development.
