(20 Nov 2018) Bosnia's three-member presidency was inaugurated on Tuesday after last month's elections, with nationalist politicians dominating the body designed to bridge the country's ethnic divide stemming from the 1992-95 war. The multi-ethnic presidency includes a Muslim, a Serb and a Croat. It is part of Bosnia's complex post-war administration that features a Muslim-Croat and a Serb entity, joined by central institutions. The three politicians include staunchly nationalist Serb leader Milorad Dodik who has advocated eventual separation of the Serbs from Bosnia. Dodik took office on Tuesday together with Muslim politician Sefik Dzaferovic and Bosnian Croat Zeljko Komsic. Komsic is the only one of the three who's widely seen as a moderate. However, all three politicians made speeches in which they reached out to all of the country's citizens.
