00:00Polls opened Sunday in Bosnia's general election, where some 3.4 million voters are choosing
00:07three members of the multi-ethnic presidency, national lawmakers and leaders of the country's
00:13two entities. Early reports showed voting was delayed at several polling places due to problems
00:19with new digital voting technology. It's the first time authorities are using electronic
00:25voter identification and ballot scanning to curb vote tampering that undermined confidence in past
00:32elections. Most of the 75 parties running are organized along ethnic lines. The Bosniak
00:39Nationalist Party of Democratic Action campaigned on keeping Bosnia united, while many Bosnian
00:45croats back ethnic parties. Izet Bergovic is seeking a third term as president of the center-right
00:52SDA party. The election comes as some leading politicians stoke the war-era tensions that
00:58have kept the small Balkan state divided since the 1992-1995 conflict.
