The Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Bosnian: Predsjedništvo Bosne i Hercegovine) is a three-member body that collectively serves as the head of state of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Under Article V of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, defined by the Dayton Agreement in 1995, it consists of one Bosniak and one Croat member directly elected from the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and one Serb member directly elected from Republika Srpska.
Members of the presidency serve a four-year term and may hold office for a maximum of two consecutive terms, although there is no overall lifetime limit.
While the presidency acts collectively as the head of state, one member serves as chairperson at a time. The chairmanship rotates among the three members every eight months, beginning with the member who received the highest number of votes in the election.
