Željka Cvijanović, née Grabovac (born 1967) is a Serb politician from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Prime Minister of Republika Srpska.[1] She was minister of economic relations and regional cooperation in the previous government.

Cvijanović supports the use of identity cards specifying the ethnicity of residents of Bosnia and Herzogovina. When asked if she agreed with with the President of Serbia's apologies for the Srebrenica Massacre of civilians which occurred under her state, she repeatedly refused to do so, or to criticise statements accusing the victims of "self-massacre". Cvijanovic suggested however that she had sympathy for the victims, and cited her government's financial investment of approximately €25m in the Srebrenica area.[2]
