Bosnia and Herzegovina is divided by identity issues

20 June 2022

Bosnia and Herzegovina is preparing for the election of the three members of the joint presidency of the Republic and other bodies of the country on 2 October. The country, however, remains strongly divided by the demands of identity carried out by the different parts that make it up. Dragan Čović, leader of the Croatian Democratic Union, the reference party of the Croatian population in Bosnia, strongly criticized the lack of electoral reform that should have established the constituencies on an ethnic basis, to overcome the low representation in parliament of the Croatian population, minority in the country.
