Marko Kešelj (Serbian Cyrillic: Марко Кешељ, born 2 January 1988) is a Serbian politician and retired professional basketball player serving as the state secretary in the Ministry of Sports since 4 November 2022.[1] He previously served as a member of the National Assembly from 1 August 2022 until his resignation on 10 November 2022.[2]

He is also a presidency member of Crvena zvezda. He represented the Serbia national team in the international competitions. He is a 2.08 m (6'10") tall small forward.[3]

Professional career

Kešelj started his career in his hometown with a club called Mega Ishrana. Despite his young age, Kešelj already has the experience of playing for two top-quality foreign clubs, the Spanish ACB League club Akasvayu Girona and the German League club Köln 99ers. During the summer of 2006, his talents were spotted by Serbian coach Svetislav Pešić, who brought him to Girona in the Spanish ACB League at the age of 18.

However, Kešelj could not establish himself in the squad and got very little playing time. In the summer of 2007, he transferred to the German League to the Köln 99ers, which were led by another Serbian coach, Saša Obradović. Following a so-so season, Obradović left to coach Kiev, and Kešelj also started looking for a transfer.

Upon rumors that Pešić, his mentor from his Girona days, might be taking over Crvena zvezda, Keselj decided to sign with the club during the summer of 2008, even before Pešić's arrival had become official. In 2010, he signed a 3-year contract with the Greek League club Olympiacos.[4] With Olympiacos, he won the EuroLeague and Greek League championships in 2012.[5]

On 14 August 2012 Kešelj signed one-year contract with Valencia.[6] On 5 February 2013 he left Valencia and signed with Le Mans Sarthe Basket for the rest of the season.[7] On 8 August 2013 he signed a one-year contract with ASVEL Basket.[8]

On 14 October 2014 he signed an open contract with the Serbian team Mega Vizura.[9] On 17 June 2015 it was confirmed that Kešelj would play with the Portland Trail Blazers at the 2015 NBA Summer League.[10]

On 6 January 2016 Kešelj signed with the Greek club Lavrio for the rest of the 2015–16 Greek Basket League season.[11] On 18 September 2016 Kešelj signed with Belgian club Telenet Oostende.[12]

On 28 July 2017 Kešelj returned to Crvena zvezda, signing a two-year deal.[13] On 4 January 2019 he scored 20 points for the night and his 1,000th point for the Zvezda.[14][15]

National team career

Kešelj was a member of the Serbian junior national teams, and he played at the 2007 FIBA Under-19 World Championship in Novi Sad and at the 2008 FIBA Europe Under-20 Championship. Kešelj was also a member of the senior Serbia national team at the 2010 FIBA World Championship, where Serbia was defeated by Lithuania, in the game for the bronze medal. He was also capped for the national team of Serbia at the EuroBasket 2011, in Lithuania, where Serbia finished in 8th place.
