Bosnians are heading to the polls in elections dominated by separatist Serb leader Milorad Dodik, who is banned from public office but has loomed large over the campaign. At a final rally, Dodik said Bosnia and Herzegovina is 'dead'.

The election is taking place in a country scarred by ethnic tensions and the 1992-95 war. There are concerns about the influence Russia may seek to exert over the small Balkan nation through the political outcome.
