2014 riots and resignation
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. He had served since 21 November 2012 and, like most Bosnian politicians, was accused of corruption by protesters. Zeljković was quoted as saying: "I have not gone out of fear, I do not want to be a doormat for your feet." He also said that the anti-government revolt in his country had "elements of a coup d'état." 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."
