Bosnia holds national elections amid ethnic tensions and foreign influence from the US and Russia

Bosnia held national elections on October 2, 2022, with around 3.4 million voters participating. The elections were crucial for the country's EU membership bid and were influenced by ethnic tensions and the presence of pro-Russian politician Milorad Dodik. Voter frustration was high due to economic challenges and a political crisis stemming from the 1992-95 war.
