Polls close in Bosnia-Herzegovina's divisive election
Bosnia held a general election where voters focused on economic issues. Milorad Dodik, a pro-Russia politician from the Serb ethnic group, heavily influenced the campaign by inflaming tensions tied to the country's 1992-95 conflict, despite not being on the ballot himself. His party declared victory in the election. The country remains divided along ethnic lines.
