Bosnia's SDP launches campaign with ambitious wage and pension promises

SDP leader Nermin Nikšić unveiled the party's 2026-2030 program on the first day of the pre-election campaign, pledging average salaries of 1,500 KM and pensions of 1,000 KM, alongside a 10-day specialist check-up guarantee. These promises signal a populist tilt ahead of elections, but lack detailed fiscal backing. The proposals could shift voter expectations and pressure other parties to match, though their feasibility remains uncertain given Bosnia's fragmented governance.
