Early political careerEdit

Ivanić's political career began in 1988, when he became a member of the Presidency of SR Bosnia and Herzegovina during Yugoslav Socialist times.Template:Cn

From 2001 until 2003, he was Prime Minister of Republika Srpska, one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's two entities. He also served as minister of foreign affairs, succeeding Zlatko Lagumdžija on the post, and as such was a member of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina (i.e. the national government). In turn, he was succeeded on the post in 2007 by Sven Alkalaj.<ref>Bosnian ministries, etc. at Rulers.org</ref> Ivanić is a founding member of the center-right Bosnian Serb Party of Democratic Progress (PDP) and was its president from 1999 to 2015.

Presidency (2014–2018)Edit

2014 general electionEdit

The Alliance for Change, a coalition formed around the Serb Democratic Party and Ivanić's PDP, amongst some other parties as well, announced on 14 July 2014 that Ivanić would run in the Bosnian general election as a candidate for Bosnia and Herzegovina's three-person Presidency member, representing the Serbs.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

At the general election, held on 12 October 2014, Ivanić was elected to the Presidency, having obtained 48.71% of the vote, narrowly beating the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats' (SNSD) candidate, the Republika Srpska prime minister Željka Cvijanović, who obtained 47.56% of the vote. His victory marked the first time since the Dayton Agreement that a Serb member of the Presidency received the highest number of votes in the country, out of the three elected members. He was then Chairman of the Presidency from November 2014 to July 2015 and again from November 2016 to July 2017.

2018 general electionEdit

At the 2018 general election, held on 7 October, Ivanić lost his bid for re-election to the Bosnian Presidency to SNSD's leader and Republika Srpska president Milorad Dodik. Dodik obtained 53.88% of the vote, while Ivanić was second with 42.74%.<ref>ksl.com</ref><ref>couriermail.com</ref>

Domestic policyEdit

Attitudes towards the Republika Srpska referendumEdit

Template:See also

A referendum on the National Day of Republika Srpska, called the "Day of Republika Srpska" was held on 25 September 2016. A year prior, the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina ruled against the constitutionality of the holiday, deeming it discriminatory against non-Serbs in the entity. Republika Srpska authorities reacted by contesting the decision of the Constitutional Court and calling for constitutional amendments within 120 days to get rid of international judges serving in the Court, simultaneously calling for a popular referendum on whether Republika Srpska citizens support the decision of the Court.<ref>Bosnia Today Template:Webarchive, 30 November 2015</ref> On 9 January 2016, the entity's authorities celebrated the "unconstitutional" holiday, in spite of the Court ruling.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

About the National Day referendum announced by Milorad Dodik regarding the legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Ivanić stated: Template:Quote

The National Assembly of Republika Srpska passed a resolution on the referendum on 15 July 2016, with the backing of all Serb parties and the boycott of Bosniak National Assembly members.<ref>TRT world, 11 August 2016</ref> The result of the referendum was 99.8% in favour of supporting the National Day.

On 7 June 2015, Ivanić met with Pope Francis in Sarajevo, as part of the Popes's 2015 papal visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In March 2017, he visited Jerusalem and met with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> While in Jerusalem, Ivanić talked about the Jewish community in Bosnia and Herzegovina, saying that "the community should not expect property expropriated during the Holocaust in Bosnia to be given back or to be compensated for its seizure. A restitution law had at one time been created in Bosnia, but fell by the wayside because the process would be too complicated. The seized properties were taken over by the Yugoslav Communists after the war, then privatised, while some of them have been demolished or replaced." Ivanić further insisted that he would restore the property or give compensation if he could, but that the matter was not in his hands.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

European UnionEdit

Template:See also

Ivanić advocated Bosnia and Herzegovina's accession to the European Union. In an interview with web portal European Western Balkans in January 2016, he stated that "by joining the EU, Bosnia and Herzegovina would receive rules that were developed by a third party, and thus internal differences would become less important. It is also a good economic space." Ivanić mentioned the slowness of the Bosnian authorities in making decisions as possible difficulties that the country could face, and pointed out that this is why reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina is needed.<ref name="N1">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="EWB">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
