Željko Komšić Politician

Željko Komšić (born 20 January 1964) is a Bosnian politician who served as Croat Member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 2006 to 2014. Komšić was a prominent figure of the Social Democratic Party of Bosnia and Herzegovina until he left it in July 2012, apparently because of the SDP's agreement with the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina (HDZ) about the new majority in the Federal Parliament.Although elected to the post of Croat member of the tri-partite presidency, Bosnian Croats considered him to be an illegitimate representative of their interests as he was elected mostly by Bosniak voters in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a Bosniak-Croat political entity which forms about half of the country.
