Savez nezavisnih socijaldemokrata , SNSD / СНСД ( Serbian - Cyrillic Савез независних социјалдемократа ; German Alliance of Independent Social Democrats ) is a party of Serbs in Bosnia and Herzegovina .
It was founded in 1996 as the party of independent social democrats ( Stranka nezavisnih socijaldemokrata ). Its members previously belonged to the nezavisnih poslanika club . After merging with the Democratic Socialist Party ( Demokratska socijalistička stranka ) in 2001, it took on its current name. The SNSD was an associate member from 2002 to 2008 and a full member of the Socialist International from 2008 to 2012 . However, since the 2006 election campaign, the social democratic aspect of the program has taken a back seat in favor of nationalist politics. The party was expelled from the Socialist International in August 2012.
The party has been led by Milorad Dodik since it was founded. From 1998 to 2001 and 2006 to 2010 he was Prime Minister of the Republika Srpska within Bosnia and Herzegovina. Another member of the party, Nebojša Radmanović , was elected in 2006 as the Serbian representative in the three-member Presidium of the State as a whole. The President of the Republika Srpska has also been provided by the SNSD since 2006. After Milan Jelić's death in 2007, Rajko Kuzmanović followed , in 2010 the party chairman Milorad Dodik and, when he moved to the state presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Željka Cvijanović .
elections
2006
In the elections for the House of Representatives (House of Representatives) of Bosnia-Herzegovina in October 2006, the SNSD won the most votes in the state with 19.1%. In the Republika Srpska the party was able to unite 46.9% of the votes. The SNSD has 7 of the 42 MPs and is only the third largest parliamentary group due to the electoral mode. Compared to 2002, this result represents a strong increase, at that time it was only 10.1% (22.4% of the votes in the Republika Srpska) and 3 seats.
In the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska , 41 (+22) of the 83 MPs belonged to the Independent Social Democrats. They were elected by 43.3% (+ 21.5%) of the voters.
The SNSD thus became by far the strongest party in the Republika Srpska, replacing the SDS , which had been able to unite around 40% of the votes in the Republika Srpska since the end of the war.
On January 4, 2007, the SNSD provided Nikola Špirić, the country's prime minister, for the first time.
2014
In the elections in October 2014, the SNSD suffered slight losses. It achieved 32.28% (2010: 38%) and 30 seats in the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska as well as 6 seats in the national parliament, all from the RS.
