Milorad Dodik, banned from public office for six years, declared his party's victory in Bosnia's election and said it would hold a “vast majority”, according to Euronews.

With 95% of ballots counted, his candidate, Zeljka Cvijanovic, was on track to retain her seat in the tripartite presidency, according to Euronews. The vote was shaped by economic pressures, the prospect of joining the EU and ethnic tensions, according to the Associated Press, in a text republished by ABC News.
