The main opposition party in Republika Srpska, the SDS, has nominated Sonja Karadzic-Jovicevic for the position of vice president of the RS National Assembly. Karadzic-Jovicevic is the daughter of war-time Serb leader Radovan Karadzic, and worked for her father during the war. She has served in the Assembly only since 2014. Mr. Karadzic is currently on trail for war crimes and genocide at the Hague tribunal.
After the arrest of [her father] on war crimes and genocide charges in 2008, she continued to defend his innocence, claiming that the Hague Tribunal was just “a NATO disciplinary commission,” and calling Srebrenica massacres “a fabricated tale.”
…The vice-presidency of the National Assembly of Republika Srpska is currently held by Nenad Stevandic, who was formerly a member of SDS before joining a new grouping called the Free Democratic Serbian Club.
