Notes

1. 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]
