He attended primary and secondary school in Novi Pazar, and later studied at the International University, where he obtained his master's degree in economics, and Faculty of Islamic Studies.

Career

Zukorlić has been the member of the Justice and Reconciliation Party, previously known as Bosniak Democratic Union of Sandžak, since the early 2010s. He previously served as the head of the youth wing of the party. Following the death of his father in November 2021, Muamer Zukorlić, he was appointed as head of the party.

Shortly before he got elected as president of the Justice and Reconciliation Party, the National Assembly elected him as deputy president of the Republic Electoral Commission (RIK). Zukorlić was chosen as the ballot representative of his party for the 2022 general election. He had expressed his support to continue the cooperation between SPP and the Serbian Progressive Party, while during the electoral campaign, his party campaigned on education reforms and anti-discrimination politics. Following the election, he was elected as MP in the National Assembly. Zukorlić was elected vice-president of the National Assembly on 2 August.

Personal life

Zukorlić was married in 2012 and the couple has four children. Besides his native Bosnian, he speaks English and Arabic. He had also worked as a teacher at the Gazi Isa-beg madrasa and was the deputy president of the Sandžak Television. He is the head of BioSan, IT San company, and Developmental Educational Society, which helped to establish the "Gazi Sinan-beg" youth center in Novi Pazar in 2017.

In 2015, it was alleged that Zukorlić conspired attacks against Đorđe Balašević. Zukorlić was later involved in an incident in 2018, after which he filed a complaint against two newspapers that allegedly published false claims about the incident.
