Mustafa Hajrulahović "Talijan" (22 January 1957 in Banja Luka – 8 March 1998 in Hamburg) was a Bosnian military officer and later a general of the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in charge of the defence of Sarajevo. He has been given his nickname due to his knowledge of Italian language.[1]
He finished the military academy in Split, Croatia in 1979. He left the JNA in 1991 in the rank of Captain and joined the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. For most of the war he was the commander of the 1st Corps, but at the end of the war he was placed in the war Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was very popular in the army and with the people. He was one of the key people in the defence of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War, in a city besieged and helpless amid a relentless onslaught of artillery and sniper-fire.
He died of a heart attack when he was visiting his mother in Hamburg. He is buried in a specially marked grave near Ali Pasha Mosque in Sarajevo.
