Election day in Bosnia was supposed to be a major transportation event. Plans were laid to finally realise the dreams of hundreds of thousands of Bosnian refugees, allowed at long last to see their old homes.
Hundreds of buses had been ordered and special routes were cleared across the old front-lines. For many of the ordinary Bosnians who have suffered exile throughout the war, election day was a rare opportunity to return to the towns and villages they were forced to leave.
