SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Bosnians voted in general elections on Sunday that will show whether people are more concerned about the 44-percent unemployment rate or still mired in wartime nationalist divisions.

Polls closed in the evening and election commission head Sjepan Mikic said based on information he is getting, the turnout will be higher than two years ago when more than 56 percent of 3.3 million eligible voters cast their ballots in local elections. Preliminary results will be announced early Monday.
