In 1991, he worked as a professor of engineering and physics in a high school in Busovača. In 1992, he became the director of the Busovača post. During the Bosnian War, Čavara was municipal commissioner for war production and workers involved in war production in central Bosnia and head of the municipal Civil Protection.

Political career

In 1990, Čavara joined the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ BiH). Between 1994 and 1995, he was Vice-President of the HDZ BiH. In 2002, he was once again named Vice-President and President of HDZ BiH in Busovača.

In 1997, Čavara was elected to the Busovača Municipal Council. At the 2000 parliamentary election, he was elected to the Assembly of the Central Bosnia Canton. In the election held two years later, he saved his position in the Assembly.

As of 1996, he worked as Deputy Minister for Traffic and Connection in the Central Bosnia Canton. In 2001, his ministry was dismissed and Čavara was named Deputy Director of the Cantonal Directorate for Roads and was later named Director. He worked in this office until 2005.

Between 2005 and 2006 he was an advisor to Ivo Miro Jović, who was, at the time, the Croat member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. From May 2006 until February 2007, he was a member of the Federal House of Peoples. At the 2006 general election, Čavara won a seat in the Federal House of Representatives and was named its Vice-President.

President of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (2015–2023)

Following the 2014 general election, Čavara was appointed as president of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of the two autonomous entities that compose Bosnia and Herzegovina, taking office on 9 February 2015. Since 2019, he has refused to appoint judges to the Federal Constitutional Court, impairing its functionality, as the Court does not have enough judges to run its panel on vital national interests. This issue has been included also in the yearly reports by the European Commission.

On 28 February 2023, Čavara was succeeded by Lidija Bradara as president of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Sanctions

On 6 June 2022, Čavara was added by the United States Department of the Treasury to the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of individuals whose assets are blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them. Čavara was designated under Executive Order 14033, which targets persons who threaten the stability of the Western Balkans region through corruption, criminal activity, and other destabilizing behavior. The designation states that:

"Čavara’s refusal to nominate judges to fill vacancies in the Federal Constitutional Court has blocked the function of the Court’s Vital National Interest panel, a body of the Federal Constitutional Court judges created by 2002 amendments to the Federal Constitution by the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina that is intended to address key issues raised by delegates in the Federal House of Peoples. This has prevented key reforms and hindered democratic processes or institutions. Such failures in governance impact the well-being, prosperity, and rights of citizens across the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina."

Personal life

Marinko is married to Ivanka Čavara, and together they have three children, one daughter, and two sons.
