# Leadership crisis at the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/leadership-crisis-at-the-court-of-bosnia-and-herzegovina > Updated: 2026-10-26T14:08:35.000Z. Sources: 2. Developments: 2. The leadership of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina has undergone significant instability following the resignation of Ranko Debevac. A disciplinary commission found Debevac responsible for failing to follow regulations regarding an automated case management system, an action described as “any other behavior that represents a serious violation of official duty or calls into question public trust in the impartiality and credibility of the judiciary.” Beyond disciplinary findings, Debevac faces criminal proceedings involving allegations of abuse of office, forgery, bribery, and unauthorized wiretapping. Minka Kreho, who has served as the acting president for three years following Debevac’s departure, has emerged as the sole qualified candidate for the permanent presidency. While another application was submitted, the second applicant failed to meet legal requirements because they are not a judge of the court. The selection process for Kreho will involve an interview and a presentation of a work program to the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-26: Ranko Debevac dismissed as President of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina The High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council confirmed the dismissal of Ranko Debevac, former President of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, following disciplinary violations and ongoing criminal proceedings. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ranko-debevac-dismissed-as-president-of-the-court-of-bosnia-and-herzegovina ### 2026-09-30: Minka Kreho sole qualified candidate for Court of BiH presidency Minka Kreho is the sole qualified candidate for the presidency of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina after an ineligible external applicant was disqualified. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/minka-kreho-sole-qualified-candidate-for-court-of-bih-presidency --- Cite as: Leadership crisis at the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
