Political career

On 2 March 2022, Hurtić founded the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Greens political party, becoming its president.[3] In the 2022 general election, he was elected to the National Assembly of Republika Srpska.[4]
On 25 January 2023, following the formation of a new Council of Ministers presided over by Borjana Krišto, Hurtić was appointed as the new Minister of Human Rights and Refugees in Krišto's cabinet.[5]
