Bosnia and Herzegovina: a state in disarray (part 1)

Eight months after the elections and our last visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina, we find a state in deadlock. A controversial referendum in the Serb political entity of Republika Srpska was called off but tensions remain, as Bakir Izetbegovic, the Bosniak member of the Bosnian Presidency, told us. We also meet Frenkie, a young rap musician who is trying to build bridges between communities.
