Note: The populations of Ćelinac (17252) and Skender Vakuf / Kneževo (12065) have been added to the Kotor Varoš and subtracted from Banja Luka, reflecting the transfer of jurisdiction over those two municipalities. While separate case-filing statistics are not readily available for Ćelinac and Skender Vakuf / Kneževo, their addition to Kotor Varoš increases the population served by that court by 149%. Accordingly, caseload for that court has been projected at 149% higher than before, and the Banja Luka caseload has been decreased by a corresponding amount.
