Political career

Komlenski began his political career at the municipal level, becoming president of the municipal assembly of Obrenovac, Belgrade in 2014, after the Movement of Socialists joined a coalition government with the Serbian Progressive Party, the Socialist Party of Serbia, and the United Regions of Serbia.[2]

The Movement of Socialists contested the 2016 Serbian parliamentary election as part of the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić – Serbia Is Winning electoral list. Komlenski received the twenty-ninth position on the list and was elected when the coalition won a majority with 131 out of 250 mandates.[3] Following the election, he became the leader of a five-member parliamentary caucus comprising the delegates of the Movement of Socialists, and People's Peasant Party and the United Peasant Party.[4] The caucus supports Serbia's current coalition government led by the Progressive Party.

Komlenski was chosen as head of the parliamentary committee on constitutional and legislative issues in June 2016.[5] He continues to hold this position as of 2017 and is also a member of the committee on the judiciary, public administration, and local self-government; a deputy member of the committee on labour, social issues, social inclusion, and poverty reduction; the leader of Serbia's parliamentary friendship group with Venezuela; and a member of its parliamentary friendship groups with Belarus, China, Cuba, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Greece, Israel, Russia, and Slovakia.[6]
