Notes
- ↑ The Central Election Commission ordered Dodik's removal on 6 August 2025.[1] On 18 August, his appeal against the decision of the Central Election Commission was rejected and his mandate as Republika Srpska president was officially terminated.[2] The termination was marked as 12 June 2025, due to the Bosnian state court's verdict becoming legally binding on that day.[3] The National Assembly of Republika Srpska initially rejected the court's decision and supported Dodik as the president,[4] but ultimately accepted the decision two months later.[5]
