Vojin Mijatovic, one of the deputy leaders of Bosnia’s Social Democratic Party (SDP), will be a candidate for the member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina from the country’s Republika Srpska (RS) entity, N1 has learned.

The official announcement of Mijatovic's candidacy will take place on Friday at a press conference at the SDP headquarters.

According to SDP sources, the party's expectations are that Mijatovic will receive support from the same parties that have already supported the SDP’s Denis Becirovic as a candidate for the Bosniak member of the Presidency from the Federation (FBiH) entity.
