Irfan Ljubijankić

After Ljubijankić's death, singer Yusuf Islam, a friend, appeared at a 1997 benefit concert in Sarajevo and recorded a benefit album named after a song written by Ljubijankić, "I Have No Cannons That Roar".

Ljubijankić remained an active medical doctor until October 1993 when he became Minister of Foreign Affairs. He traveled widely to help gain international support for the country. Shortly before his death, he represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 50th anniversary celebration of the end of World War II in London on 1 May 1995.

Ljubijankić was killed on 28 May 1995 when his helicopter was shot down by a missile over Cetingrad, a Croatian town near the Bosnian border being held by Serb rebels at that time. He was flying from Bihać to Zagreb on government business. Six other people on the helicopter also died. Ljubijankić was married and had two children.

In 1990, as Bosnia was preparing to secede from Yugoslavia, he was elected to the Bosnian parliament and became a leading member of the Bosniak-dominated Party of Democratic Action. He temporarily left politics in 1992 after the beginning of the Bosnian War, in order to serve as a medical doctor in Bihać.

Irfan Ljubijankić (26 November 1952 – 28 May 1995) was a Bosnian facial surgeon, classical music composer, politician and diplomat. He served as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from 30 October 1993 until he was killed in action on 28 May 1995 during the Bosnian War.
