On August 18th, local time,
Radovan Viskov, the Prime Minister of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina announced his resignation.
Viskov stated that the decision to resign was made in consultation with the President of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Speaker of the National Assembly.
Following his resignation, a new government will be elected in the Serbian Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Milorad Dodik, the President of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, stated that a broader coalition government must be formed to overcome “current issues” and thanked Viskov for his contributions during his term as prime minister.
Viskov has served as the Prime Minister of the Serbian Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2018. In March 2025, the State Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina issued detention orders to Milorad Dodik, the President, Viskov, the Prime Minister, and Nenad Stivandich, the Speaker of the National Assembly, on charges of “attacking constitutional order”.
Bosnia and Herzegovina experienced severe civil wars from 1992 to 1995. After the war, under international mediation, Bosnia and Herzegovina was divided into two autonomous political entities – the Serbian Republic and the Muslim-Croat Federation. These two political entities are unified under a central government.
