Nationalist candidates led the preliminary results in elections for Bosnia's three-member collective presidency on the 12 October 2014.

Bakir Izetbegovic and Zeljko Komsic, the current Bosniak and Croat members of Bosnia's tripartite presidency, forged a coalition with the Serb opposition, freezing out Serb leader Milorad Dodik, the website Balkan Insight reported on 10 November 2014.

[Bosnians also voted on the 12 October 2014 for the national parliament, the parliaments of the two autonomous states as well as the president of the Serb republic, among a host of other offices. Results from those races were expected later on the 13 October 2014].
