context_section_description: In the 2018 general election, Džaferović was elected to the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina as the Bosniak Member with over 36% of the votes, succeeding his Party of Democratic Action (SDA) colleague Bakir Izetbegović. In the first month of his presidency, he had problems with Serb member Milorad Dodik, Chairman of the Presidency at the time, with Dodik stating he would not attend the first Presidency session under the new leadership until the flag of Republika Srpska, the entity of Bosnia and Herzegovina, was put in his office. Dodik eventually relented, agreeing to hold the session with only the flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On 20 March 2020, Džaferović became the new Presidency Chairman for the following eight months, succeeding Croat member Željko Komšić.
