A divided Bosnia goes to the polls tomorrow to elect a tripartite Presidency and a parliament. Bosnia was part of the former Yugoslavia. Its break up led to several ethnic conflicts in the early 1990s. With approximately eight thousand candidates running for office, the country is split along three main lines: Muslims, Croatians and Serbs. Within Bosnia, 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.
