Career
Hurtić was born in Doboj in 1970, where he finished elementary and secondary education. He completed undergraduate studies in economics in 2015 and obtained a PhD in 2019.[1]
He served as Minister of Commerce and Tourism in the Government of RS.[1] In the 2018 general elections, he filed legal complaints due to receiving exactly zero votes in the voting booths 1 and 2 of the electoral district 5 Doboj, despite party members and others having voted there.[3]
On 11 March 2021, he was elected President of the City Council of Doboj, as a member of the coalition Doboj u srcu (Doboj is in our hearts).[4] The coalition was composed of the Independent List Doboj - Sevlid Hurtić (now BH Greens[5]), DF, SBB, and several independent candidates.[6]
On 11 January 2023, SNSD and SDP suggested him for the position of Minister of Human Rights and Refugees.[7]
