SARAJEVO, Feb.18 (Xinhua) -- Bosnia and Herzegovina's (BiH's) national football team selector Robert Prosinecki informed on Tuesday here that Ognjen Vranjes is no longer player of country's national team.

Prosinecki said during the press conference here that BiH Football Association has brought the decision to disqualify Vranjes because of his conflict with fans, tattoos of war criminals and scandal with Serbian singer Jelena Karleusa.

In January 2019, he was engaged in a scandal, releasing explicit content of videos and text messages with Serbian singer Jelena Karleusa.

Vranjes plays for Belgian club Anderlecht since June 2018. He was a former player of Serbian Crvena Zvezda, Turkish Gaziantepspor and Elazigspor, Russian Krasnodar, and Greek AEK Athens.

He played in BiH national team as a centre back since 2010, and played in 39 matches.
