The President of the Socialist Party of Srpska (SPS), Goran Selak, published a survey by the agency Faktor Plus to boast about the party's political progress. However, the President of United Srpska (US), Nenad Stevandić, was not pleased with the results and reacted strongly.
The survey results, based on a sample of about 1,200 respondents, indicate that the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats (SNSD) is in first place in terms of popularity, with 41 percent support. In second place is the Movement Safe Srpska, in which Draško Stanivuković has gathered opposition members from the PDP and some politicians from the government. They have 18 percent of respondents' support. In third place is the Serb Democratic Party (SDS) with 12 percent of the votes.
Other parties have below 10 percent, while Demos, United Srpska, and SP - Petar Đokić failed to cross the parliamentary threshold, which is three percent in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Demos and United Srpska each have two percent of the respondents' votes, and SP has one percent.
Additionally, For Justice and Order by Nebojša Vukanović has seven percent and is in fourth place in popularity in Republika Srpska. SPS has four percent and is in fifth place, while DNS of Nenad Nešić, once a promising and young party, has three percent.
Selak published these results, but they unsurprisingly did not sit well with Nenad Stevandić, who claims that United Srpska has 9.1 percent of the votes and is in third place in popularity in Republika Srpska, not at the very bottom of the list as the survey states.
"To the monkey, the author of this lie, I publicly say: reputation and knowledge are not bought like diplomas and people in trouble who have no good alternatives. Insane ambitions without substance and values confirm this. Selak, Jelena, and Vukan, together, do not have even one percent. So, together, no threshold, no infrastructure, no organs, only desires and spins," said Stevandić.
Thus, Stevandić insulted Selak, calling him a monkey with "insane ambitions," simply because a population survey showed that people in Republika Srpska do not particularly like him, and Selak dared to publish it to boast.
