Early life and career

She completed elementary school and high school in Novi Sad and graduated from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Novi Sad in 1974. She was later a chemistry professor and university assistant, and for twenty-two years she worked in water protection and related fields for the city of Novi Sad. In 2002, she became an assistant to the Provincial Secretary for Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development in the government of Vojvodina. Lazić retired in 2012.[1]

Political career

Municipal and provincial

Lazić joined the LSV in 1997, was president of its Women's Forum from 2000 to 2005, and was elected as a party vice-president in 2005 and 2008. She was a member of the Novi Sad council from 2004 to 2008, serving as part of an LSV-led coalition called "Together for Vojvodina."[2]

She appeared on the LSV's Together for Vojvodina – Nenad Čanak electoral list in the 2008 Vojvodina provincial election[3] and on the electoral list of another LSV-led coalition in the 2016 election.[4] She did not, on either occasion, serve in the Assembly of Vojvodina afterwards.

Member of the National Assembly

The LSV contested the 2014 Serbian parliamentary election as part of a coalition led by former Serbian president Boris Tadić. Lazić received the eighteenth position on the coalition's list and was elected when this list won eighteen mandates.[5] She was re-elected in the 2016 election after receiving the third position on Tadić's Alliance for a Better Serbia coalition list, which again included the LSV and which won thirteen mandates.[6] Lazić has served as a member of the opposition throughout her time in the assembly. The LSV delegates initially served in caucus with the Green Party after the 2016 election;[7] they now serve with the Liberal Democratic Party and the Party of Democratic Action of Sandžak.

She is currently a member of the parliamentary agriculture, forestry, and water committee; a member of the environmental protection committee and the committee on the rights of the child; a deputy member of two other committees; a member of Serbia's delegation to the Parliamentary Dimension of the Central European Initiative; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Austria, Germany, Slovenia, Sweden, and Turkey.[8] She is also a member of an informal parliamentary "Green Group"[9] and often speaks on pension issues.[10]
