Nothing new in Bosnian elections
Another election in Bosnia and Herzegovina based on empty promises.

This year’s vote saw divisions exploited by politicians from the three main ethnic groups, bent on stoking fear of renewed hostilities, cultivating a sense of victimhood and pandering to nationalist sentiments.
Even vague promises have not been delivered on, historically. According to analysis by Zašto ne, between 2014-2018 only 3.3 percent of the 2014 election promises were fulfilled by institutions at state and entity level.
