Bosnian Serb leader Dodik claims party win in Bosnia election, separatist tensions persist

Milorad Dodik, the pro-Russia Bosnian Serb nationalist, declared victory for his party in Bosnia's election, though he was not on the ballot. The campaign was marked by economic concerns, EU accession prospects, and ethnic divisions, with Dodik's separatist rhetoric raising fears of renewed instability. The outcome could deepen political fragmentation and complicate Bosnia's EU path.
