Back to square one?: An analysis of the 2014 general elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina

• Elections in Bosnia favor nationalist parties that exclusively refer to one ethnic group in the country.
• The success of the SDA, SNSD and HDZ in the October's election will mean “more of the same” with little incentive for reform.
• Some multi-ethnic parties had reasonable successes at regional level (DF, Nasa Stranka).
• Constitutional reform and the Croat question remain the most important issues.
• The elections demonstrate the lack of democracy.
