Sulejman Ugljanin (pronounced [sulějman ǔɡʎanin]; Serbian Cyrillic: Сулејман Угљанин; born 20 November 1953) is a Serbian Bosniak politician, president of the Party of Democratic Action of Sandžak and the Bosniac National Council. He is a representative in the National Assembly of Serbia.
He was the Mayor of Novi Pazar, and the former Minister without portfolio in the Government of Serbia between 2008 and 2014.
Ugljanin holds a doctoral degree in stomatology from the University of Sarajevo. He is married and has four children.
Sulejman Ugljanin was born in Mitrovica in the Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo, which was part of the People's Republic of Serbia in the FPR Yugoslavia. His parents are from Novi Pazar, but moved to Mitrovica after his grandfather bought a house there. He had three sisters and three brothers. His father worked as a carpenter, and mother as a tailor.
He started going to school at an early age of six, assuring his parents and school principal that his sisters and brothers taught him how to read and write. He grew up in somewhat conservative surrounding, as his cousins objected to his father for letting his oldest daughter to attend a high school. Ugljanin's oldest sister later became a chemical engineer and first highly educated family member. Although religion was discouraged in the communist Yugoslavia, his family maintained a religious life. Ugljanin recalled that he feasted since his early childhood for every Ramadan.
