Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina

Deputy chair and minister

Current officeholders · 2022–2026 · as of 3 November 2026

Note on this list

Coverage is 19 people: the chairwoman, eight ministers and ten deputy ministers (Defence has two). The security minister position is unfilled following acceptance of Nenad Nešić’s resignation in January 2025; Ivica Bošnjak remains deputy minister and temporarily performs ministerial duties under Article 14. Srđan Amidžić replaced Zoran Tegeltija on 22 August 2023; Staša Košarac became deputy chair that day, while the date shown for him marks the start of his ministerial term. Party labels are those in the official appointment announcement of 25 January 2023, except Amidžić (biography) and Janjić (a media report of 3 July 2026 lists him among new SPS members); they do not establish that no other later membership changes occurred. HSS has not been reliably linked to a party registry entry. The consolidated official composition PDF was unavailable; appointment confirmations and ministry news underpin this snapshot. The migrated Nešić announcement displays 27 January 2025, whereas media report 28 January; the precise day is therefore not asserted.

  2. SIPA, CEC BiH and the Committee for Preparing the Election of the Council of Ministers

    SIPA verifies the prescribed declarations, the CEC certifies legal eligibility, and the Committee recommends whether the House should confirm the candidate. The Committee has three days for the chair and eight days for ministers and deputies from receipt of the information.

A mandate passes to the next candidate if an elected person refuses it or suspends it, so the composition can change before the constituting session. CIK prints candidates' names in capitals; they are shown here in normal case, and where CIK's results export gives a name in Cyrillic, that original is kept as well. List names are shown as CIK publishes them; those published in Cyrillic are transliterated into Latin script.
