According to them, this body will include the incumbent Croatian representative Zeljko Komshić, Zeljka Cvijanović representing the Serbs, and the Bosniak – Denis Bećirović.
According to preliminary results in the BiH Presidium elections, Zeljko Komshić won 54 percent support, with 46 percent support for Borjana Krishto.
