Divided Bosnia set for elections

A divided Bosnia goes to the polls on Sunday to elect a tripartite Presidency and a parliament.

Bosnia was part of the former Yugoslavia. Its break up led to several ethnic conflicts -- the worst in the early 1990s.

With some 8000 candidates vying for office, the whole country is split along three main lines - Muslims, Croats and Serbs.

Within Bosnia itself, there are two semi autonomous regions - the Croat Bosniak Federation and Republika Srpska.

Final campaigning has now ended in an election which has seen nationalist politics take centre stage.
