As a child and teenager, he played for the Swedish teams Habo IF and Husqvarna FF. He went on to play for the Swedish team IFK Goteborg youth team in 1998 and 1999, before coming to Italy in the year 2000.
He has previously played for the Bosnian U-21 national team. During the 2004/2005 he was the top scorer of Serie C1/A side Rimini, with 15 goals in 32 matches, helping his team in winning the league and being promoted to Serie B. In the 2006/2007 he was loaned to Parma F.C.. From 2007 he will play for Atalanta.
Zlatan Muslimovic made his debut for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team in 2006 in a friendly match against France as a second half substitute. He also played for the team in their Euro 2008 qualifying matches against Malta (x2), Hungary, Norway and Turkey. Against Croatia, he scored a hat-trick.
One of Muslimovic's most memorable current games was the encounter with the Norwegian National Football team in Oslo. He along with middle fielder Zvjezdan Misimovic scored two early goals in the first half giving Bosnia-Herzegovina a night to remember on the 24th of March 2007 with a 2-1 victory. He turned in another solid performance in the match against Turkey by calmly slotting a cheeky ball from Zvjezdan Misimovic past Rustu Recber to level the score at 1-1. Bosnia went on to win the game 3-2 via a header off a corner in the 89th minute from substitute Adnan Čustovic.
Another great feat from Muslimovic was a hattrick during the friendly match with Croatia. Muslimovic is currently the only player with Elvir Bolic to ever score a hattrick.
