Zeljka Cvijanovic, the newly elected BiH Presidency member from the Republika Srpska (RS) entity will take the oath for this position first at the RS National Assembly (RSNA) and then at the Presidency building, newly elected RS President Milorad Dodik said Thursday.

“We’re doing this for the first time ever that before the Serb Presidency member is introduced to the mandate, they should take the oath before the National Assembly. Thus Mrs Cvijanovic, who will assume her duties in the Presidency on Wednesday the 16th, will take the oath at the National Assembly before that, which we believe is very important and which we want to put into practice and action,” said Dodik.

Although he said that it was the first time they were doing this, Dodik also took the oath first at the RSNA, and a day later in the BiH Presidency.

Dodik previously announced who will be the RSNA Speaker and that his party, the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) will get four seats at the House of Peoples of the BiH Parliament.
