biography

Vjekoslav Bevanda was born in Mostar, Herzegovina , where he also attended school. After finishing high school in 1975, he studied at the economics faculty in his hometown. Bevanda graduated in January 1979 with a major in finance.

Between 1979 and 1989 Bevanda worked for the aircraft and armaments manufacturer Soko in Mostar, where he worked as an investment manager and headed the finance department. In 1990 he moved to APRO -Bank in Mostar, where he was in charge of factoring until 1993 and was promoted to deputy head of the bank. From 1993 to 1999, Bevanda was a board member of the EUROSPED group in Zagreb and director of the banking houses Nord Adria Triest and Nord Adria Wien . After managing the Euro centar in Split from 2000 to 2001 , Bevanda was director of the Commerce and CBS bank in Sarajevo between 2001 and 2007 and managed the Mostar branch of the NLB group.

Bevanda began his political career in 2007 when he was appointed Minister of Finance of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina , of which he was Deputy Prime Minister until 2010. In 2010, the top functionary of the Croatian Democratic Union in Bosnia and Herzegovina ( HDZ BiH ) was elected as a representative in parliament.

After the elections in October 2010, conflicts among the leading Bosniak, Serbian and Croatian parties prevented the formation of a government. Only after almost 15 months, in which the International Monetary Fund and the European Union, among others , had suspended their loan payments, did the six major parties of the three ethnic groups agree on a new government at the end of December 2011. If the agreement had not been reached before January 1, 2012, all payments from the state budget would have had to be suspended. As the new head of government, Dragan Čović , party leader of the HDZ BiH , nominated Vjekoslav Bevanda, who was finally also appointed by the state presidency with Bakir Izetbegović , Nebojša Radmanović and Željko Komšić . Bevanda was the first Bosnian Croat since 2001 to take over state affairs of state. He named the country's economy and the EU rapprochement process as the future priorities of the new government .

On January 12, 2012, Bevanda was elected Prime Minister by Parliament. 31 of the 36 MPs present voted for him, two against him, and three abstained. He was given a month to form a government. On February 9, 2012, Bevanda's new government was appointed by the Bosnian State House of Representatives. 26 MPs voted for her, seven against her, and one abstained. The six major parties of the three ethnic groups (in addition to Bevandas HDZ and HDZ1990, the SDP , SDA , SNSD and SDS ) had divided the nine ministries among themselves - the Bosniaks received the foreign ministry, security, transport and defense departments, the Serbian ethnic group the ministries for Commerce, Finance and Civil Affairs and the Croatians the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Human Rights.

He is a member of the government of his successor Denis Zvizdić , which has been in office since 2015, as Minister of Finance.
