Uglješa Marković (Serbian Cyrillic: Угљеша Марковић; born 18 January 1991) is a politician in Serbia. He has served in the National Assembly of Serbia since 2020 as a member of the Socialist Party of Serbia.

Early life and private career[]

Marković was born in Belgrade, Republic of Serbia, in what was then the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He was raised in the city and earned a bachelor's degree in economics. In 2017, he began work on a master's degree in the same field.[1]

Politician[]

Socialist Party[]

Raised in a family that supported the Socialist Party, Marković himself joined the party in 2013. He became president of the Socialist Youth of Serbia on 17 December 2017.[2][3]

In a 2019 interview, he was asked for his opinion on former Socialist Party leader Slobodan Milošević. Marković described Milošević as having emerged as a statesman "at the wrong time, in the wrong place," though adding that his legacy included two landmark accomplishments for Serbia: the Dayton Agreement and United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244.[4]

Municipal politics[]

Marković received the eighth position on the Socialist Party's electoral list for the Stari Grad municipal assembly in the 2016 Serbian local elections.[5] The list won four mandates in the municipality, and he was not initially elected.[6] He received a mandate on 29 September 2016 as the replacement for another member of his party.[7] At the municipal level, he has served on the committee for the implementation of Stari Grad's youth policy.[8]

Marković was promoted to the fifth position on the Socialist list for Stari Grad in the 2020 local elections and was re-elected when the list won six mandates.[9][10] He continues to serve in the local assembly.

Parliamentarian[]

Marković was given the fourth position on the Socialist Party's list in the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election. This was tantamount to election, and he was indeed elected when the list won thirty-two mandates.[11] During the election, he highlighted the importance of Serbia's public health system established in the socialist era.[12] The Socialist Party continued to participate in Serbia's coalition government after the election, and Marković serves with the government's parliamentary majority.

He is a member of the assembly's committee on administrative, budgetary, mandate, and immunity issues; a member of the committee on the economy, regional development, trade, tourism, and energy; a deputy member of the foreign affairs committee; a deputy member of the committee on finance, state budget, and control of public spending; a deputy member of the committee on spatial planning, transport, infrastructure, and telecommunications; the head of Serbia's parliamentary friendship groups with Slovakia and Suriname; and a member of the friendship groups with Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burundi, Ghana, the Holy See, Malta, the Netherlands, Romania, Sierra Leone, Sweden, and Tunisia.[13]
