SARAJEVO (Reuters) - Nationalists with opposing views of Bosnia's future secured the most votes in this month's general election, but none will be able to rule alone, raising the prospect of lengthy power-sharing talks and new delays in long-overdue reforms.

More lost time could further destabilise Bosnia's fragile economy, which slowed further this year after devastating floods in May and badly needs fresh money from the International Monetary Fund to cover its growing budget gaps.
