Club career
Born in Titograd, Saveljić made his senior debut with Budućnost in the 1988–89 campaign. He spent the following four seasons at the club, before surprisingly moving to Hajduk Kula in the summer of 1993. However, after notable performances with the club, Saveljić secured a transfer to Partizan in the 1995 winter transfer window. He won back-to-back championship titles in 1996 and 1997.
In the summer of 1997, Saveljić moved to France and signed with Bordeaux. He won the league title in his second season at the club. Afterwards, Saveljić spent another two years with Bordeaux, while also being loaned to his former club Partizan in the 2001 winter transfer window. He helped them win the 2000–01 FR Yugoslavia Cup, before returning to France. In the following four years, Saveljić went on to play for Sochaux, Bastia, Guingamp and Istres.
In July 2005, Saveljić made another return to Partizan, signing a two-year deal. He was suspended in May 2006 for confronting with his teammate Danko Lazović after a training session. Eventually, Saveljić left the club by mutual agreement in August 2006.
International career
Saveljić made his debut for FR Yugoslavia in a 3–1 win over Hong Kong on 31 January 1995. He earned 32 caps and scored one goal for the national team, having represented the country at the 1998 FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2000.
Personal life
Saveljić also holds French citizenship. He is the father of Nicolas Saveljić, a water polo player, and the cousin of Esteban Saveljich, a Montenegrin international footballer.
