Mustafa Ružnić (born 25 May 1980) is a Bosnian politician who served as Premier of Una-Sana Canton from 2018 to 2023. He is a member of the People's European Union.
Early life and education
[edit]Ružnić studied in Cazin, then graduated in criminology at the University of Sarajevo. In 2016, he obtained a master's degree at the University of Banja Luka.[1] He worked at the Una-Sana Canton employment agency.[2]
Political career
[edit]Right after the 2018 general election, on 17 October 2018, the outgoing cantonal assembly removed the government of Husein Rošić (SDA), and Ružnić was appointed premier of the canton for a governing coalition which included A-SDA, SDP BiH, DF, NB and DNZ.[3][4]
In June 2020, Ružnić's adviser Mirsad Topčagić was arrested by the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA).[5] In March 2021, Ružnić was criticised for receiving MPs from the far-right AfD party, which had just been put under surveillance by the German secret services.[6][7]
Ružnić was succeeded as premier by Nijaz Hušić on 5 December 2023, following the removal of Ružnić's government by the SDA.[8]
