Bosnians have gone to the polls in the fourth post-war local elections which are expected to confirm the dominance of the ruling nationalists.
Some three million Bosnians are eligible to elect 140 mayors, as well as local council members. Since the 1992-1995 war, Bosnia consists of two semi-independent entities -- the Muslim-Croat Federation and the Serbs' Republika Srpska. The two share weak central institutions while each has its own government and police. Analysts say the turnout is expected to be low in Sunday's polls due to widespread voter apathy and the lack of local issues in the election campaign.
