Club career
International career
Salanović played his first international game with the senior national team on 4 September 2014 in and against Bosnia and Herzegovina (3–0), after he came on as a substitute for Philippe Erne in the 63rd minute of that game.[2] At the time of his senior debut for Liechtenstein, rumors were abound that Salanović had chosen to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina over the country of his birth, however, four days later, Salanović appeared in Liechtenstein's starting 11 for their UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against Russia, thus permanently cap-tying him to the principality.[3]
