Bosnia holds tenth general election under Dayton framework

Bosnia and Herzegovina held its tenth general elections since the end of the 1995 war, operating under a political framework established by the Dayton Peace Agreement. While the peace accord successfully halted three years of conflict, it instituted a rigid system of power-sharing among the country's three primary ethnic groups.

Critics contend that this complex governance model has contributed to decades of political inertia and impeded necessary institutional modernization. Voter fatigue and disillusionment remain widespread as citizens face ongoing economic stagnation and unfulfilled political promises. Despite growing public frustration with entrenched sectarian divisions, the constitutional setup created three decades ago continues to dictate the country's electoral and administrative landscape.
