The President of the Republic of Srpska stated that the mandate for the new Government of the Republic of Srpska will be given to the current Prime Minister Radovan Višković and that there is a parliamentary majority to support it.

“At the meeting with the representatives of the parliamentary parties, we also discussed the policies we want to implement, everyone is convinced that a difficult time of economic challenges is coming. The Republic of Srpska is prepared for these challenges and will continue to implement the policies it has had so far in response to them”, said the President Dodik.
