Both Dodik and Silajdzic are pursuing the main strategies that politicians from their ethnic group have been pursuing since Dayton: the Bosnian Serbs' primary strategy to keep power and protect the integrity of their community has been to preserve a strong RS, with only grudging transfers of responsibility to the central government, while the Bosniaks' primary strategy has been to build an effective central state at the expense of entity power.
