List of heads of government of Bosnia and Herzegovina
This article lists the heads of government of Bosnia and Herzegovina since the country was formalized as the Federal State of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a constituent unit of the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia, in April 1945.
Since 1945, the heads of government have received several names, such as:
- Prime Minister (1945–1953)
- President of the Executive Council (1953–1992)
- Prime Minister (1992–1997)
- Chairman of the Council of Ministers (1997–present).[1]
