In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, discussions involve strategic demands from influential figures linked to SDA leader Bakir Izetbegović, including requirements that the Prime Minister position be filled by a candidate from the Tuzla Canton. At the state level, Izetbegović is being discussed as a potential candidate for the chairmanship of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This potential appointment follows the SDA’s performance among Bosniak voters and may serve as recognition for Izetbegović’s leadership, despite his recent loss in the race for the Bosniak member of the Presidency. Meanwhile, in the Sarajevo Canton, debates continue regarding the legal procedures for appointing new authorities and assembly leadership. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-14: Bakir Izetbegović potentially considered for Bosnia and Herzegovina Council of Ministers chairmanship Bakir Izetbegović is a potential candidate for the chairmanship of Bosnia and Herzegovina's Council of Ministers, while political processes continue in the Sarajevo Canton. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bakir-izetbegovi-potentially-considered-for-bosnia-and-herzegovina-council-of-ministers-chairmanship ### 2026-10-06: Bakir Izetbegović faces pressure over FBiH government formation Influential businessman Abdurahman Hodžić Hodža has reportedly demanded that the next Prime Minister of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina be a candidate from the Tuzla Canton. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bakir-izetbegovi-faces-pressure-over-fbih-government-formation --- Cite as: Bosnia and Herzegovina government formation negotiations.
