Milanka Jevtović Vukojičić

Milanka Jevtović Vukojičić (Serbian Cyrillic: Миланка Јевтовић Вукојичић; born January 29, 1960) is a politician in Serbia. She has served in the National Assembly of Serbia since 2012 as a member of the Serbian Progressive Party.

Private career

Jevtović Vukojičić is a social worker and has served for many years as supervisor of the centre for social work in Priboj.[1][2][3]

Member of the assembly

Jevtović Vukojičić received the seventy-eighth position on the Progressive Party's Let's Get Serbia Moving coalition electoral list in the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election.[4] The list won seventy-three mandates, and the Progressive Party subsequently became the dominant force in a new coalition government. Although Jevtović Vukojičić narrowly missed direct election, she was able to take her seat in the assembly on July 25, 2012, following the resignation of party members further up the list to take positions in the administration.[5]

Jevtović Vukojičić was promoted to the forty-second position on the Progressive-led Aleksandar Vučić — Future We Believe In list in the 2014 parliamentary election and was returned when the list won a majority victory with 158 out of 250 seats.[6] She was re-elected for a third term in the 2016 election on the successor Aleksandar Vučić – Serbia Is Winning list, which won a second consecutive majority with 131 mandates.[7]

She is currently the deputy chair of the parliamentary committee on labour, social issues, social inclusion, and poverty reduction; a member of the committee on human and minority rights and gender equality; a deputy member of the committee on the rights of the child; a deputy member of Serbia's delegation to the South-East European Cooperation Process parliamentary assembly; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Belarus, Canada, Germany, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malta, Montenegro, Russia, Sweden, and Switzerland.[8] In September 2016, she took part in an inter-parliamentary workshop in Bucharest, Romania, entitled, "European Parliamentarians Fighting Modern Slavery."[9]
