An ally of separatist Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik was leading the presidential election in the Serb-run half of Bosnia, according to near-complete preliminary results on Monday, as the opposition claimed a major vote fraud.
The snap vote on Sunday in Republika Srpska was held after Dodik was removed from the presidential office over separatist policies that were stoking instability in the ethnically tense Balkan nation.
