Polls have closed in Bosnia in the fourth post-war general elections with results expected to confirm the dominance of the ruling nationalists in the ethnically divided Balkan country.
The elections are thought to have had the lowest electoral turnout yet as voter apathy is created by unimproved living standards, nationalist rhetoric and a lack of local issues on the party agendas. Since the 1992-1995 war the country has been governed by two semi-independent entities of Muslim-Croats and Serbs.
