STORYLINE
Bosnians are preparing to vote in local elections on Sunday amid widespread disappointment in a political system tainted by corruption and ethnic tensions.
Many people say they have lost trust in the country’s politicians, who are blamed for a string of economic problems.
The country is still split along ethnic lines, with a dysfunctional federal government whose leaders cannot agree over what the country should look like.
Following the parliamentary elections in October 2010, Bosnia’s complex political system was blocked for 15 months by the inability of its three main communities to agree on the formation of a government.
Bosnia’s three ethnic groups, Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs fought a vicious civil war from 1992 to 1995 during which nearly 100-thousand people were killed.
The conflict ended with the US-brokered Dayton accords in 1995, which carved the once-multiethnic nation into mini-states: one for the Serbs – called Republika Srpska – and the other shared by Bosniaks and Croats, all loosely linked by a federal government.
Republika Srpska’s president Milorad Dodik, the leader of Bosnia’s largest Serb party the Alliance of Independent Social Democrats, has been accused by critics of inflaming Serb nationalism to gain votes, instead of tackling social and economic problems.
Bosnia’s enduring divisions have stalled its entry into both the EU and NATO.
