Death
[edit]Hadžipašić died from a heart attack on 23 July 2008 in his home in Zenica.[2] The Guardian wrote in his orbituary "As a newcomer to full-time politics, Hadžipašić, a chain-smoking "can-do" personality, appeared well-suited to the task of streamlining government finance, privatising state-run enterprises and attracting foreign investment."[1]
