The Central Election Commission has finished distributing seats for the state and federal parliaments, a formal conclusion to an election cycle that now moves into the more familiar territory of coalition maneuvering. The results clarify the math for the various political blocs, though they rarely simplify the task of actually forming a government.
While the domestic count concluded, thousands of residents holding Serbian citizenship spent the day at 28 polling stations across the country to vote in Serbia’s snap elections. The queues at some locations were a reminder that the border between the two nations remains busier on election days than many diplomats would prefer.
In Sarajevo, a mother and child were injured when construction formwork fell from a building, while a fatal crash near Grude added another name to the country’s road toll. In the Republika Srpska entity, the government found 15 million marks in the budget to increase its stake in the regional utility, Elektroprivreda.
