Amir Rešić Nino (born January 22, 1964 in Bosanska Dubica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavia, died October 18, 2007 in Bijeljina) was a popular singer in the former Yugoslavia and later the whole Balkan.
Amir Rešić was raised in Bosnia, but after his studies he moved to Kruševac (in Serbia when still in Yugoslavia). He later converted from Islam to Serbian Orthodoxy and changed his Muslim name Amir to the Christian Nikola (Nicholas Nino, Serbian: Никола, Нино), possibly because his wife is Serbian Orthodox. After divorcing his wife he converted back to Islam on 2004 and changed his name to Amir. [1] Nino died from pancreas perforation caused by prolonged alcoholism on Friday Oct 19, 2007. [1]
