On 8 September 2012, he scored his first international hat-trick in an 8–1 win over Liechtenstein in World Cup qualification. This brought him up to 24 international goals, surpassing the international record of 22 set by Elvir Bolić and Zvjezdan Misimović.[4] They are also the team that Džeko has scored more times against than any other, with six goals against them. More than half of Džeko's goals have come at home, having scored 20 at Bilino Polje Stadium in Zenica and 5 at Asim Ferhatović Hase Stadium in Sarajevo.

The majority of Džeko's goals have come in qualifying matches. He has scored 24 in World Cup qualifiers, including 9 during the 2010 World Cup qualification round where he finished as the second-equal top scorer, alongside England's Wayne Rooney and one behind Greece's Theofanis Gekas.[5] Džeko has also scored 16 times in European Championship qualifiers (including one in the 2016 play-offs) and 4 goals in the UEFA Nations League. He has only scored once in the World Cup finals, in a 3–1 win against Iran in the 2014 tournament.[6] The remainder of Džeko's goals, 14, have come in friendlies.
