In his inauguration speech, Dodik said the RS "kept its autonomy and bolstered institutions over the past four years, was internationally recognized and respected and an unavoidable part of decision-making in Bosnia-Herzegovina today," the Beta news agency reported.
He said that his top priority was preserving the autonomy and authority of the RS and stressed that "Bosnia, as defined by the Dayton Accords, was no hindrance to the RS," adding:
"However, certain foreigners or certain Bosniak politicians are trying to impose on us under the veil of various reforms and with the aim of unitization is absolutely unacceptable to us."
Dodik voiced support to Bosnia's bid to join the European Union on condition that the Serb's entity's autonomy and authority are not diminished. He "stressed that cooperation with Russia was the entity's vital interest, but noted that it wanted to be a serious partner to the U.S. too."
Welcome back to communist era. President of entity for life!? Only in Serbia and Russia.

Yes of course its all commos, but what do you call the system in the US where for the last 180 years its only been Republican or Democrat? But you forgot the western appointed President for life in Montenegro.

He keeps getting elected because the EU and the Federation treat the RS badly, and he exposes it. Want to stop him from being president for life- Treat the RS better. Than, he can moderate his approach to power or a moderate can come to power. Either way, the #1 campaign tool he has is the EU condemnations and pressure.
This is what democracy looks like, get used to it or improve the situation.
