Leotar entered the first-ever season of the First League of Republika Srpska in 1995–96, playing in the Eastern Group and failing to reach the play-offs.[1] In 2001–02, Leotar won the last league championship in the Republika Srpska before the entity's clubs were integrated into a national league.[2] In its first season in the national league in 2002–03, Leotar became the champion of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the only time, denying Željezničar Sarajevo a third consecutive title by gaining 85 points to their 82.[3] The club fell to fourth in the next season.[4]
