Bosnian Serbs Vote to Hold Referendum Amid Growing Tensions

Bosnian Serbs Vote to Hold Referendum Amid Growing Tensions

Imagine Bosnia-Herzegovina like a country divided into two parts, and one part is run by Bosnian Serbs.

Their leader, Dodik, was recently told he couldn't be in charge anymore.

Now, the Bosnian Serbs are holding a vote to see if they agree with this decision.

This vote is like asking, 'Do we accept what others are telling us to do?'

Dodik thinks most people will say 'no'.

This is causing tension because Dodik wants more power, and it could affect how the country stays together, and the central government is not agreeing with Dodik.
