Politician

Gyivánovity was given the eleventh position on the VMSZ's electoral list in the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election.[3] The party won a record nine seats in this election; Gyivánovity was not immediately elected but received an assembly mandate on 1 December 2020 as the replacement for another member.[4] During his assembly term, he was a member of the judiciary committee,[a] a deputy member of the spatial planning committee,[b] and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with France and the Holy See.[5] The VMSZ provided outside support to Serbia's government led by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) in this period.

He was promoted to the eighth position on the VMSZ's list in the 2022 parliamentary election.[6] The party fell back to five seats, and he was not re-elected. He was appointed as a state secretary in ministry of public investments after the election and served in this role until 2024.[7]

Gyivánovity received the eleventh position on the VMSZ's list in the 2023 parliamentary election and was again not elected when the list won six seats.[8] He later appeared in the second position on the party's list for the Subotica city assembly in the 2024 Serbian local elections and was elected when the list won nineteen seats, finishing second against the alliance around the Progressive Party.[9][10] The SNS and VMSZ formed a coalition government after the election, and Gyivánovity was elected as the city assembly president on 10 July 2024.[11]
