Census in BiH:
'Other' has been an un-controversial option in the U.S. for some time.
However any natural born citizen can run for President, and other offices only require you tone a citizen.
Bosnia-Hercegovina is different. The Dayton Accord constitution basically doesn't allow someone who isn't a member of one of the three main ethnicities to run for office.
A Roma or a Jew can't run for example.
So checking 'Other' is to disenfranchise yourself in a way that is inconceivable elsewhere.
