Izetbegović has been accused of monopolizing the party and silencing most of his internal critics, while drawing power into his own hands and those of a few close allies.

In February 2011, Izetbegović attended a panel in New York City, dedicated to the Dayton Agreement, organized by the Clinton Foundation.

As "credible efforts" towards the implementation of the Sejdić–Finci ruling remained the outstanding condition for the entry into force of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement, in June 2012, Czech Commissioner Štefan Füle launched a High Level Dialogue on the Accession Process (HLAD) with Bosnia and Herzegovina, tackling both the Sejdić–Finci issue and the need for a coordination mechanism for the country to speak with a single voice in the accession process.

[11] In February 2013, the European Commission decided to step up its involvement, with the direct facilitation of talks by Füle, in coordination with the Council of Europe's Secretary-General Thorbjørn Jagland.

[12] In March and April 2013, with the support of the Director-General for Enlargement Stefano Sannino, the EU Delegation in Sarajevo facilitated a series of direct talks between party leaders, with no concrete outcome.

[13][11] During the summer of 2013, Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ BiH) leader Dragan Čović and Izetbegović reached a political agreement on several files, from Mostar to Sejdić–Finci, in parallel to the initiative led by the U.S. Embassy for a constitutional reform of the Federal entity.

[11] Three further rounds of negotiations among political leaders were led together with Štefan Füle, in a castle near Prague in November 2013, and later in Sarajevo in the first months of 2014, also with the presence of the U.S. and the Venice Commission.

[11] In June 2012, Izetbegović criticized Serbian President Tomislav Nikolić for refusing to recognize the Srebrenica massacre as an act of genocide, saying it was an insult to the survivors.

[21] In July 2014, he stated that Gaza "was for many years a target of Israeli attacks" and warned that the world was "becoming used to violence perpetrated by Israel".

[24] In one of his last foreign visits as presidency member, Izetbegović participated at an EPP summit held in Sofia, Bulgaria on 16 May 2018.

Shortly after having to leave the Presidency, due to the term limit of eight years, in February 2019, Izetbegović became a member of the national House of Peoples.

[30] Izetbegović announced his candidacy in the Bosnian general election on 30 June 2022, running once again for presidency member, representing the Bosniaks.

[32] Dževad Galijašević, a member of the Southeast European Expert Team for the Fight against Terrorism and Organized Crime, accused Izetbegović in 2011 of supporting and helping Wahhabis in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"[34] In October 2019, while most of the world condemned it, Izetbegović supported the Turkish offensive into north-eastern Syria, saying "Turkey has the right to defend its security, territorial integrity and resolve the refugee issue.

"[35] In May 2020, he was accused of being "an advocate of Sharia in Bosnia and Herzegovina", a religious law forming part of the Islamic tradition.

[41] On 27 August 2021, Izetbegović's daughter Jasmina got married in Sarajevo, and at the wedding, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who was on a state visit in Bosnia and Herzegovina, was present in a role of a godfather.
