Miljan Damjanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Миљан Дамјановић; born 1984) is a politician in Serbia. He served in the National Assembly of Serbia from 2016 to 2020 as a member of the far-right Serbian Radical Party.

Early life and career[]

Damjanović was born in Prizren, Kosovo, in what was then the Socialist Republic of Serbia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He is a graduate economist.[1]

Political career[]

Damjanović joined the Radical Party in 2003 and was elected as a municipal official in Stari Grad, Belgrade in 2008. He subsequently became the leader of the Radical Party organization in Belgrade and a member of the party's national presidency. He announced a coalition government in Stari Grad in 2016 that included the Radical Party, its traditional ideological rival the Democratic Party, and other groups.[2]

In 2011, Damjanović took part in a protest against the arrest and extradition of Ratko Mladić. He was quoted as saying, "[His arrest] is an act of treason by the regime. It proved that this country is not free. He's a hero."[3]

Damjanović received the ninety-second position on the Radical Party's electoral list in the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election and the thirty-first position in the 2014 election. The party did not cross the electoral threshold to win representation in the National Assembly on either occasion.[4] He was promoted to the eighth position on the Radical list for the 2016 election and was elected when the party won twenty-two mandates.[5]

Damjanović is a member of the parliamentary committee on Kosovo-Metohija; a deputy member of the European integration committee; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups for Belarus, China, and Russia.[6] He is also a substitute member of the Serbian delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and is an alternate delegate on the PACE committee on social health and sustainable development.[7]

Damjanović announced in March 2017 that the Radical Party would send an international parliamentary delegation to Crimea to mark the three-year anniversary of the area's de facto joining of the Russian Federation.[8]
