The document called “Guidelines, principles and goals in the executive and legislative power at the level of BiH for the period 2022-2026” was signed two and a half months after the general elections, and the signatories expressed hope that the new convocation of the Council of Ministers of BiH will be formed very soon, possibly even until the end of this year.
According to the Law on the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the chair of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina is appointed by the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina with each new mandate.

The chair of the BiH Council of Ministers takes office after the appointment is approved by the House of Representatives, and confirmation of the appointment must be completed within 30 days from the date of appointment.
If the House of Representatives does not confirm the decision of the Presidency of BiH on the appointment of the chair of the Council of Ministers, the Presidency of BiH is obliged to appoint another chair of the Council of Ministers within eight days and submit such a decision to the House of Representatives of the BiH PA for confirmation.
