Srđan Milivojević (Serbian Cyrillic: Срђан Миливојевић; born 2 August 1965) is a Serbian politician who is currently the president of the Democratic Party (DS). He has served as a member of the National Assembly since 1 August 2022. He previously served in the National Assembly from 2007 to 2014.

Biography

Milivojević was born on 2 August 1965 in Kruševac, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia. He graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade. After completing his studies, he engaged in animal husbandry. He also had a marketing agency and was also involved in catering.[1] He was previously an owner of a fast food restaurant.[2]

Milivojević claimed that he participated in the Anti-bureaucratic revolution but refused to go to Slobodan Milošević's Gazimestan speech as it was clear to him "who Milošević is and what he wants". He participated in the protests against Milošević and later joined Otpor[3] whose candidate he was in the 2003 parliamentary election but failed to get elected to the National Assembly.[4]

In 2004, Otpor merged with the Democratic Party (DS) and Milivojević joined DS. He was elected member of the National Assembly in the 2007 parliamentary election. He was later re-elected in 2008, 2012 and 2022.[1]

President of the Democratic Party

In December 2024, Milivojević was elected president of the DS defeating the incumbent president Zoran Lutovac and Miodrag Gavrilović in the party leadership election.[5] Following his election, Milivojević stated that there are two ways out of the current social and political crisis in Serbia, namely that Aleksandar Vučić leaves the country or that a transitional government be formed that would organize fair and honest elections.[6]
