Vera Jovanović
Vera Jovanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Вера Јовановић; born 1947) is a politician in Serbia. She served in the National Assembly of Serbia from 2017 to 2020 as a member of the Serbian Progressive Party.
Early life and career[edit]
Jovanović was born in Belgrade, in what was then the People's Republic of Serbia in the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. She is an economist.[1]
Politician[edit]
Municipal politics[edit]
Jovanović received the eighteenth position on the Progressive Party's Let's Get Rakovica Moving electoral list for the 2012 local elections in the Belgrade municipality of Rakovica.[2] She narrowly missed direct election when the list won seventeen seats but was awarded a mandate on 5 July 2012 as the replacement for another party member.[3][4] She served on the municipality's employment council in the term that followed.[5] She was not a candidate for re-election at the local level in 2016.
Parliamentarian[edit]
Jovanović received the 192nd position on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić — Future We Believe In list for the 2014 Serbian parliamentary election.[6] This was too low a position for election to be a reasonable prospect, and she was not elected despite the list winning a majority victory with 158 out of 250 seats.
She was promoted to the 138th position on the successor Aleksandar Vučić – Serbia Is Winning for the 2016 election.[7] The list won 131 mandates, and she was again not initially elected. She received a mandate on 21 April 2017 as a replacement for Marko Blagojević, who had resigned to take an ambassadorial position.[8] During the 2016–20 parliament, Jovanović was a member of the European integration committee; a deputy member of the foreign affairs committee and the committee on administrative, budgetary, mandate, and immunity issues; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Belarus, China, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, Myanmar, Russia, Tunisia, Turkey, and Spain.[9]
Jovanović was given the 219th position on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić — For Our Children list and was not re-elected even as the list won a landslide majority with 188 out of 250 mandates.[10] It is possible, though unlikely, that she could re-enter parliament as the replacement for another Progressive Party member in the current term of the assembly.
