Bosnia and Herzegovina is preparing for elections scheduled to take place on Sunday. The elections will determine new leadership for both ethnic entities within the three-million-strong federation. A key focus of the campaigns has been the country’s slow economic growth and the stalled process of accession into the European Union. Campaigning peaked on Friday, heavily influenced by longstanding ethnic tensions and fundamentally different visions for the future of the country. These divisions are a traditional feature of political discourse in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The outcome of the elections will significantly shape the direction of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the coming years.
