Camil Durakovic

Former Srebrenica mayor Camil Durakovic confirmed on Friday that he will run for the post of president of Bosnia's Serb-dominated entity, Republika Srpska, in the October elections and will seek support from associations, political parties and the community.

Mladen Grujicic, the new mayor of Srebrenica, has been invited to attend the 65th National Prayer Breakfast in February, according to the municipality's website.

The event - which actually features several meetings, lunches and dinners - is expected to be addressed by Donald Trump, as by that time he will have taken office as the next US president.

BELGRADE - With almost 90 percent of votes counted, it is clear that the new mayor of Srebrenica will be Mladen Grujicic, RFE/RL reports.

As of October 7, his lead looked unassailable, with 3,957 votes against 1,645 cast for his opponent, Camil Durakovic. Durakovic was relying on the Bosniak expatriate vote, but even that will not be enough.

Ahead of the announcement of the results in Bosnia's municipal elections on Sunday, the two main parties representing Bosniaks and Serbs claimed big victories.
