Bosnia general election: nationalist parties retain dominance, coalition talks ahead

Preliminary results from Bosnia's general election show the three largest ethnic-nationalist parties (SDA, HDZ BiH, SNSD) maintaining their dominant positions, indicating continuity in the country's fragmented political landscape. Coalition negotiations will determine the formation of state and entity governments, with potential implications for stalled EU accession and constitutional reform. The outcome is consistent with past electoral patterns, but the specific coalition arithmetic remains uncertain.
