Nikola Koljević

Nikola Koljević was a prominent Bosnian Serb politician and member of the Serbian Democratic Party (SDS) during the early 1990s. He played a significant role in the political landscape of Bosnia and Herzegovina leading up to the Bosnian War. Koljević served as a member of the Presidency of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and was a key figure in advocating for the creation of an ethnically homogeneous Serbian state. His departure from state institutions in March 1992, alongside other SDS leaders, marked a pivotal moment that contributed to the breakdown of the political order in Bosnia and Herzegovina, ultimately leading to widespread violence and ethnic cleansing.
