Early life

Emrić was born in Bužim, SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, then part of SFR Yugoslavia. His parliamentary biography indicates that he is an engineer in the field of geodesy and that he was the director of the organization GEOID in Bihać until 2014.

Political career

Emrić was elected to the municipal council of Bužim as a candidate of the Party of Democratic Action (SDA) in 2000. The SDA won a landslide majority in this election, and Emrić was subsequently chosen by councillors as the city's mayor.[1] He left the SDA at some point between 2000 and 2004 and was re-elected as mayor as an independent candidate in the 2004 municipal elections, the first to be held after Bosnia and Herzegovina introduced the direct election of mayors.[2] He joined the Party of Democratic Activity (A-SDA) in 2008 and was defeated by SDA candidate Mirsad Šahinović in the 2008 municipal elections.

Emrić was elected to the Una-Sana Cantonal Assembly in the 2010 general election and served until the end of his term in 2014, leading a four-member grouping from his party. He was elected to the national House of Representatives in the 2014 general election, and was re-elected in the 2018 and 2022 general elections.[3]
