The name Boris Barun was on the list of several candidates for this position submitted by the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council (VSTV) of BiH in 2022.

Before him, the list included Jasminka Džumhur, Monika Mijić, and Senad Osmić, but none of them received the required majority of votes.

Anja Vuleta-Pavelka was also elected as a judge of the Constitutional Court of FBiH, while candidates Slaviša Bjelogrlić and Damir Šapina did not receive the required majority.
