Milorad Dodik (Serbian Cyrillic: ??????? ?????, pronounced [mîlora?d dodik]; born 12 March 1959) is a Bosnian Serb politician, currently serving as the Serb member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the collective federal head of state.
The leader of the nationalist Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD), he has occupied a number of political positions in Republika Srpska (RS), the Serb-majority entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Dodik was the Prime Minister of RS from 1998–2001 and 2006–2010 and the President of RS from 2010–2018. Much like the SNSD, Dodik was initially considered as a moderate and reformist alternative to the ultra-nationalist Serb Democratic Party (SDS) in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Since then, however, Dodik and the SNSD have pursued an increasingly-nationalist and separatist line.
Alongside aggressive nationalist rhetoric, his time in power has been characterised by authoritarianism, repudiation of federal Bosnian institutions, and closer connections to Serbia and Russia.
