Ahmet Hadžipašić (1 June 1952 – 23 July 2008) was a Bosnian politician who served as Prime Minister of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 2003 to 2007. He was a member of the Party of Democratic Action.
Born in Cazin, Hadžipašić got his PhD in 1990 at the University of Zenica. He lived in Zenica, a city known as the metallurgy center of the former SFR Yugoslavia. A few weeks before his death, Hadžipašić was elected vice-rector of the University of Zenica.
Personal life[edit]
Ahmet was married to Branka Hadžipašić from 1974 until his death. Together, they had three daughters, Emina, Amra and Selma and, after his death, four grandchildren.[1]
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]
