Bosnia and Herzegovina’s election has strengthened nationalist parties, with the SNSD of banned Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik declaring victory.
The result has left the country facing a central question: whether its political leaders can now form a government.
The balance of power after the election is expected to shape the next stage of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s politics, as nationalist parties seek to consolidate their position.
Al Jazeera Balkans journalist Aida Duratovic said the focus now turns to whether the country’s leaders can overcome the political divisions highlighted by the result and agree on a governing arrangement.
