Bosnia’s general election preliminary results are confirmed by the election commission.

Reuters, SARAJEVO, October 22 – The preliminary results of the presidential and parliamentary elections in Bosnia, held on October 2, were verified by the country’s electoral commission (CIK) on Saturday. These results highlight the dominance of nationalist parties in parliaments at all levels of the Balkan nation’s government.

A candidate from a pro-Russian party won the position of the Serb presidency member, while the CIK also announced that non-nationalist Croat and Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) candidates won the seats on the tripartite interethnic presidency.

Dodik said on Saturday that he will pursue criminal charges against CIK for missing the deadline on Saturday to reveal the presidential results, even though he seems to be winning the election over opposition candidate Jelena Trivic.

Dodik said on Saturday that he will pursue criminal charges against CIK for missing the deadline on Saturday to reveal the presidential results, even though he seems to be winning the election over opposition candidate Jelena Trivic.

In response to what he said was the CIK’s unconstitutional decision to order the recount of the votes, he scheduled a sizable gathering for Tuesday in Banja Luka, the de facto capital of the area.

After the election, two sizable protests were staged in Banja Luka by the opposition parties who had accused him of manipulating the result. They requested that the CIK hold another round of voting in the Serb Republic, but the commission declined.

Dodik, who has long supported the Serb Republic’s secession from Bosnia and its merger with neighbouring Serbia, predicted that the territory will one day hold elections on its own, openly defying national institutions.
