Bosnia and Herzegovina Holds General Elections Amid Political and Economic Challenges

Bosnia and Herzegovina Holds General Elections Amid Political and Economic ChallengesPreviousNext

Bosnia and Herzegovina held general elections with around 3.4 million eligible voters choosing officials for the tripartite presidency, federal parliament, and entity institutions. Key candidates include Denis Becirovic of the Social Democratic Party and Darijana Filipovic of the Croatian Democratic Union in the Bosniak-Croat Federation, and Zeljka Cvijanovic of the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats in Republika Srpska. The election occurred amid economic slowdown, stalled EU accession talks, and political gridlock caused by ethnically based parties. New biometric and electronic voting systems were introduced to reduce fraud.
