Notes
- ↑ Removed by High Representative on 5 March 1999;[1] removal enforced on 2 September 1999.
- ↑ Not recognized as President by High Representative until 16 December 2000.
- ↑ The Central Election Commission ordered Dodik's removal on 6 August 2025.[3] 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.[4] The termination was marked as 12 June 2025, due to the Bosnian state court's verdict becoming legally binding on that day.[5] The National Assembly of Republika Srpska initially rejected the court's decision and supported Dodik as the president,[6] but ultimately accepted the decision two months later.[7]
