Hajrudin Hromadžić

Hajrudin Hromadžić was born in 1971 in Bihać, in northwest Bosnia. He comes from a family which adopted the predominant ideology in Yugoslavia. At the beginning of the war in Croatia he was carrying out his compulsory military service in the JNA [Yugoslav National Army]. He quickly managed to get out of his military obligation and he returned to Bosnia. He started university in Sarajevo, but the outbreak of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina led to him returning to his hometown of Bihać. There, he joined units of the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina and remained active until being wounded, which occurred towards the end of the war, in 1995. After the end of the war, he returned to university in Sarajevo and he earned his degree in sociology. He then went to live and work in Slovenia, until 2008 when he moved to Zagreb. Today he works as an assistant professor at the Faculty of Philosophy in Rijeka and in Zagreb.
