Political career

[edit]

A member of the Democratic People's Alliance (DNS), Nešić was the acting director of the state-owned company Putevi Republike Srpske from 2016 to 2020.[3] In the 2018 Bosnian general election, he was elected member of the national House of Representatives.[1] Nešić was elected president of DNS in 2020, succeeding Marko Pavić.[4] Under his leadership, the DNS left the ruling SNSD-led coalition in Republika Srpska and became an opposition party.[5]

On 2 March 2022, Nešić announced his candidacy in the Bosnian general election, running for Bosnia and Herzegovina's three-person Presidency member, representing the Serbs.[3] At the general election however, held on 2 October 2022, he was not elected, obtaining only 5.51% of the vote.[6]
