Bosnia elections: Polls overshadowed by exhaustion, exodus and geopolitics as ethnic politics eclipse real problems

Bosnia is holding elections on October 4, but the campaign is overshadowed by concerns about the country's future. Voters are worried about the economy and a growing exodus of young people, but the focus has shifted to ethnic politics, with politicians using divisive rhetoric to appeal to their bases. This has led to a lack of discussion about the real issues affecting Bosnia, such as economic stagnation and brain drain.

Why it matters

Bosnia's election campaign is focused on ethnic politics rather than economic issues. This could lead to continued instability and distract from the country's real problems, such as emigration and economic stagnation.
