Putin and Vučić loom over Bosnia's elections as EU recedes

Original: Putin and Vučić dominate Bosnia elections, as EU fades out of view

Bosnia is holding elections in which foreign influence is shaping the campaign more than the country's own EU accession prospects. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić are cast as dominant figures on the political stage, while the European Union, long framed as Bosnia's destination, has largely faded from campaign debate, underlining waning EU traction in the region.

Why now: The elections are seen as a test of whether Russian and Serbian influence is displacing the EU's role in the Western Balkans.
