Bosnia held general elections on Sunday in which approximately 3.4 million eligible voters cast their ballots.
Voters chose the three members of the country's multiethnic presidency, as well as deputies for the national parliament and the heads of institutions in the two entities that make up Bosnia-Herzegovina.
According to electoral reporting by Euronews, the voting day was defined by the presence of a pro-Russian politician among the candidates, as well as debate surrounding Bosnia's bid to join the European Union, which remains at a standstill.
Bosnia's complex institutional system — the product of the peace agreements that ended the 1990s conflict — requires the simultaneous election of multiple offices at both the state and entity level.
The full results of the election, along with their implications for the country's future European integration process, are expected to become clear in the coming days.
