Kukić je dobio podršku više od polovine članova parlamenta u prvom i drugom krugu glasanja 29. juna i 14. jula, ali ne i dvotrećinsku podršku potrebnu od parlamentaraca iz RS-a, koja je po ustavu potrebna za imenovanje u Vijeće ministara BiH.
Kukic received support from more than half of parliament members in the first and second voting rounds on June 29th and July 14th, but not the two-thirds support needed from the RS MPs, which is constitutionally required for the BiH Council of Ministers appointment.
