SARAJEVO - Bosnia will hold presidential and parliamentary elections on October 4, the election commission said on Thursday.

About 3.3 million registered voters will choose the Serb, Croat and Bosniak members of the tripartite presidency and deputies in the national parliament. They will also vote for parliaments in Bosnia's two regions, the Bosniak-Croat federation and the Serb Republic, in the neutral Brcko district and in the federation's 10 cantons.
