Suad Zeljković (born 13 September 1960) is a Bosnian politician who served as Premier of Sarajevo Canton, one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's ten cantons, until his forced resignation as a result of the countrywide anti-government riots in February 2014.[1] [2]

He speaks Bosnian, English and German.
Zeljković was forced to resign as Premier of Sarajevo Canton on the night of 8 February 2014, following days of the 2014 protests and riots throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.[4] [5] [6] [7] He had served since 21 November 2012 and, like most Bosnian politicians, was accused of corruption by protesters.[8] [9] Zeljković was quoted as saying: "I have not gone out of fear, I do not want to be a doormat for your feet."[10] He also said that the anti-government revolt in his country had "elements of a coup d'état."[11] The New York Times stated that Zeljković angered citizens even more during the riots when he said that the people of Sarajevo were not justified in their dissatisfaction; "In Sarajevo, no one has reasons for unrest and actions like this," he told reporters on 6 February. "There is not a single unpaid salary, nor does any sector of society have reasons for dissatisfaction."[12]
