And Mr Grujicic is the first ethnic Serb to be mayor of this ethnically mixed town in almost 20 years.
After a lengthy appeal, Mr Grujicic was eventually confirmed as mayor and his achievement caused significant disquiet locally and internationally.
Because Srebrenica will forever be linked to the Bosnian Serb forces` massacre of around 8,000 Muslim men and boys in 1995.
Since taking office, Mr Grujicic has been keen to tone down the controversial rhetoric, at least when international visitors are in town.
The Federation is home to most of the country`s Bosniaks (Bosnian Muslims) and ethnic Croats, while in Republika Srpska (RS) the majority of the population is ethnic Serb.
