Election in Bosnia and Herzegovina

141

People vote in Bosnia and Herzegovina. They choose new governments and parliaments. The start is difficult. There are problems with the technology. The helpers use new devices for fingerprints. These devices often fail.

The country has two parts. One part is the Republika Srpska. Many Serbs live there. The other part is the Federation. Many Bosniaks and Croats live there. Both parts are mostly independent.

Milorad Dodik is an important politician for the Serbs. He cannot run for office himself. People removed him last year. He did not follow the rules. Still, he makes much advertisement. He calls Bosnia and Herzegovina dead.

Many people in the country are tired. They want no more fight. They wish for better jobs. And they want higher pay. Many young people leave the country. They look for work elsewhere. First results of the vote arrive late at night.
