Establishment and early years Due to a growing isolation of
Republika Srpska after
the peace was signed (14 December 1995),
Biljana Plavšić severed her ties with the
Serb Democratic Party and formed the
Serb National Alliance, and nominated
Milorad Dodik, then member of the
National Assembly of the Republika Srpska whose
Alliance of Independent Social Democrats-party had only two MPs, for Prime Minister. This marked the beginning of political reform in Republika Srpska and the cooperation with the
International Community. She lost the 1998 election to the joint candidate of the Serb Democratic Party and the
Serbian Radical Party of the Republika Srpska,
Nikola Poplašen. She was a candidate of the reform
Sloga ("Solidarity" or "Unity") coalition. Her political career was in decline until the release of the indictment by the
ICTY, after which it was completely terminated. ==National Assembly of Republika Srpska membership==
