During the violent protests and riots in Bosnia and Herzegovina in February 2014, Husejnagić and the entire government of the Zenica-Doboj Canton were forced to resign by 6,000 protesters who threw eggs at the government at the government building and demanded his resignation, considering him to be a corrupt leader.[6] [7]
