Veroljub "Vero" Salatić (born 14 November 1985) is a Bosnian-born Swiss footballer who plays as a midfielder for FC Sion in the Swiss Super League.

Career

Salatić moved to Switzerland as a child and started training with local team SC Zug in 1992, aged 7. In 2000 he moved on to Grasshopper-Club Zurich. In the 2003/04 season he broke into the first team. He is used mostly as a holding midfielder or as a central defender.

AC Omonia

In July 2011, he signed a contract with Cypriot side AC Omonia.

International career

Salatić has represented Switzerland at various levels including at the U-19 European Championship in 2004 in Switzerland. In 2005 he starred at the FIFA U-20 World Cup. The side were managed by Pierre-André Schürmann. Salatić starred alongside a Swiss team including Blerim Džemaili, Tranquillo Barnetta and Valon Behrami.

His success has not gone unnoticed by the Football Association of Serbia who have twice attempted to call him up, both times he refused saying he wished to play for Switzerland. He played his last match for the U21 side against England in 2006 and since then neither Köbi Kuhn or Ottmar Hitzfeld have shown any interest in calling him up.

As an ethnic Serb from Bosnia, he first expressed his desire to play for Serbia^[1] but he was never called, so he later stated that he would like to play for national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina.^[2]^[3]
