Nationalists tighten their grip on power in Bosnia | News in Depth

Bosnia and Herzegovina has held complex parliamentary elections, with the results largely favoring nationalist parties. “Nationalists will likely be able to form governments both at the state level and in the country's two constituent entities,” explains Kurt Bassuener, Co-founder of and Senior Associate at the Democratization Policy Council, on News in Depth. According to Bassuener, the vote reinforced the dominance of long-established political forces, particularly in the Republika Srpska and Croat political camps.

The analyst warns that the election's outcome could make governing even more difficult and further complicate Bosnia and Herzegovina's path toward European integration. He also argues that fear has returned to public life, while concerns over political instability and regional security are growing.
