Bosnian Serb nationalists consolidate power; Dodik credits Trump victory

In Bosnia's Republika Srpska, separatist leader Milorad Dodik's party strengthened its position in recent elections, consolidating nationalist control. Dodik publicly thanked Donald Trump, suggesting that without Trump's election victory, separatists would be 'political corpses', implying a shift in external support dynamics. This development signals potential increased polarization and challenges to Bosnia's central institutions, with implications for regional stability in the Western Balkans.
