Club career
Milićević played in two teams in his home country before moving to Belgium. He played mostly in second division.
Eupen
Milićević's first foreign team was Eupen. He helped the team to promote to the First Division in Belgium. When Eupen degraded again after one season, Milićević moved to Charleroi, the then-Second Division team.
Charleroi
After one year in Second Division, Milićević became champion with Charleroi. One year later, in one and a half seasons in First Division, he made a good impression on other teams, together with Onur Kaya and David Pollet. Kaya was contracted by Lokeren, Pollet by Anderlecht and Milićević went to Gent.
Gent
Gent was looking for more creativity during the winter break of the 2013–14 season, which it thought to have found with Milićević. He became an important player and he remained so in the next season. His first goals were against Zulte-Waregem, against whom he scored twice. Gent won three points thanks to him. The next season, he scored six goals in 17 games.
On 29 January 2016, he extended his contract until 2019.
International career
Milićević has never played senior international football, despite being eligible to represent three nations: Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.
In 2015, he expressed his desire to play for Bosnia and Herzegovina under Mehmed Baždarević.
In June 2016, he received FIFA approval to be eligible for the Bosnia and Herzegovina national team. As a result in August 2016, Milićević was named in Bosnia's squad for a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Estonia.
Personal life
His family is from Ugljevik, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
