Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Bosnia political deadlock stalls key water supply project” – below is their description.
Several multimillion-dollar infrastructure projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina are being single-handedly blocked by one of the three members of the country’s presidency.
Three leaders – from three different ethnic groups – run the nation.
The Serb leader Milorad Dodik – who wants independence for his region – is voting down every big project.
The inability to expand the water supply network in the municipalities in the Republika Srpska is one example of that intractable political problem, adding to the grievances of its residents.

In This Story: Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina, sometimes called Bosnia–Herzegovina and often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in South and Southeast Europe, located within the Balkans. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is bordered by Serbia to the east, Montenegro to the southeast, and Croatia to the north and southwest. It is not entirely landlocked; to the south it has a narrow coast on the Adriatic Sea, which is about 20 kilometres (12 miles) long and surrounds the town of Neum.
The inland Bosnia region has a moderate continental climate, with hot summers and cold, snowy winters. In the central and eastern interior of the country the geography is mountainous, in the northwest moderately hilly, and in the northeast predominantly flatland. The smaller southern region, Herzegovina, has a Mediterranean climate and mostly mountainous topography.
