Rezultati općih izbora 2018. na području općine Gračanica
The results of the general elections of 2018 in the Gračanica municipality

Summary/Abstract: In spite of some hopes and expectations, the political configuration in Bosnia and Herzegovina remains unchanged after the election. The political options that firmly placed Bosnia and Herzegovina in the economical bottom of Europe and brought it onto the same level as some undeveloped African states, have even strengthened their position in these elections. In this way the rulingSNSD party in the Republika Srpska won a total victory over the opposition and strengthened their position with the election of Milorad Dodik into the BH presidency. The parties with most votes in the Federation are the two ruling parties: SDA on all levels of administration and in all cantons with a Bosniak majority (except the Tuzla canton), and HDZ in all cantons where Croats are the majority. However, the HDZ was unsuccessful in the election for the Croat presidency member. The victor was Željko Komšić, which is being denied the right to represent the Croats by the aforementioned party and people, which led to a new deepening of the crisis in Bosnia. Unlike the situation on the higher levels of administration, there was a change in the political framework in the Gračanica municipality. In contrast with the results of the last general election, the SDP and SDA exchanged their positions. Most voters voted for the SDP, which leads over the second placed SDA with approximately ten percent of the votes. The SDP victory in Gračanica was further enabled by a long and permanent crisis in the SDA leadership and the renegade wing in Banovići, which had a significant stronghold in Gračanica.
