Recently appointed Bosnia-Herzegovina coach Safet Susic has made it clear that he's determined to convince Juventus midfielder Hasan Salihamidzic and Glasgow Rangers defender Sasa Papac to make a return in the national team.

"I think that Hasan and Sasa can add something to Bosnia's national team. We need eighteen class players if we are to qualify for Euro'12 and we don't have that much great players at the moment. Therefore, we need them and I will do my utmost to make sure they return," said Susic on a press conference.

33-year-old Salihamidzic has made 43 senior appearances for Bosnia-Herzegovina so far, in which he scored six goals. He retired from international football in 2006.

29-year-old Papac opted to retire from international football in March 2007 after problems with the Bosnian FA. A short return under head coach Meho Kodro wasn't too successful.
