Goran Ivančević
Goran Ivančević (Serbian Cyrillic: Горан Иванчевић; born 27 March 1970) is a Serbian politician. He was elected to the Assembly of Vojvodina in the 2020 provincial election as a member of the Movement for the Restoration of the Kingdom of Serbia (Pokret obnove Kraljevine Srbije, POKS).
Private life and career[edit]
Ivančević was born in Zrenjanin, Vojvodina, in what was then the Socialist Republic of Serbia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He holds a master's degree (2012) and a doctorate (2016) in political science from Educons University, a private institution in Novi Sad. His doctoral thesis was on Vojvodina's political system since the re-introduction of multi-party democracy in 1990.[1]
He has served as deputy provincial secretary for regional development, inter-regional co-operation, and local self-government in the government of Vojvodina.[2]
Politician[edit]
Ivančević was a member of the executive board of the Serbian Renewal Movement until 2017, when he and other party officials resigned in protest against Vuk Drašković's continued leadership of the party.[3] He subsequently became a founding member of the POKS and is its current secretary-general.[4]
He received the lead position on the POKS electoral list for the Vojvodina provincial assembly in the 2020 provincial election and was elected when the list won five mandates.[5] He is the leader of the POKS group in the assembly, the deputy chair of the committee on culture and public information, and a member of the committee for administrative and mandate issues.[6][7] He also received the ninety-second position on the party's list for the National Assembly of Serbia in the concurrent 2020 Serbian parliamentary election.[8] This list did not cross the electoral threshold to win seats in the assembly.
Ivančević holds right-wing views on issues of cultural identity. In the 2020 elections, he described migrant refugees in Serbia as a "security threat" and said that the country should close its borders to refugees, including those whom he described as "jihadists."[9]
