Dušan Šestić (Serbian Cyrillic: Душан Шестић; born 1946) is a Bosnian-Serb musician and composer; he composed the national anthem of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
[citation needed] Šestić began his professional career at the JNA Symphony Orchestra in Belgrade, Serbia.
Šestić has expressed his disappointment at its lack of lyrics, having written proposed ones for it which were never adopted.
[2] In the late 2000s, commentators noted an aesthetic similarity of the Bosnian national anthem to Elmer Bernstein's instrumental piece "Faber College Theme" that serves as the introductory music to the 1978 film National Lampoon's Animal House,[7][8][2] leading to accusations of plagiarism and calls for the composition to be replaced as a result.
[citation needed] Šestić taught violin at the strings department of the Vlado Milosevic Music School in Banja Luka.
