Ivo Miro Jović[pronunciation?] (born 15 July 1950) is a Bosnian Croat former politician who served as the 5th Croat member of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, appointed to the post by Parliament on 9 May 2005 following the sacking of Dragan Čović by the High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina on charges of corruption. He served until 6 November 2006.[citation needed]
After Jović had graduated as a history teacher from the University of Sarajevo, he worked as a teacher in Ilijaš and Kiseljak. He became active in politics in 1997, as the Croatian Democratic Union of Bosnia and Herzegovina (HDZ BiH) had proposed him for a government position in the Central Bosnia Canton. In 1999, Jović entered the federal government, as Vice Minister of Culture, where he remained until 2001.[citation needed]
Following the 2002 Bosnian general election, Jović was elected as a representative for his party in the House of Representatives. His most recent foreign appearance was at the 2005 World Summit in New York City. On 1 October 2006, he was defeated in the race for a second term as the Croat member of the presidency.[citation needed]
In 2013, Jović was appointed as an advisor to then Deputy Defence Minister Marina Pendeš. In 2015, she was charged by the State Prosecutor's Office for paying him a salary despite him not showing up to work. In February 2016, she was acquitted by the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina of the charges.[1]
He is fluent in German, married and father of three children.
