Vesna Ranković
Vesna Ranković (Serbian Cyrillic: Весна Ранковић; born 1989) is a politician in Serbia. She has served in the National Assembly of Serbia since 2020 as a member of the Serbian Progressive Party.
Private career
[edit]Ranković has a master's degree in spatial planning and lives in the Belgrade municipality of Barajevo.[1]
Politician
[edit]Municipal politics
[edit]Ranković appeared in the 110th position (out of 110) on the Progressive Party's electoral list for the City Assembly of Belgrade in the 2012 Serbian local elections.[2] Election from this position was a mathematical impossibility; the list won thirty-seven mandates, and she was indeed not elected.
She later served on Barajevo's municipal council (i.e., the executive branch of the municipal government) from 16 September to 3 December 2015.[3] She was chosen as the leader of the Progressive Party's municipal board in Barajevo in 2016[4] and has worked as an assistant to the mayor of the municipality.[5]
Parliamentarian
[edit]Ranković received the 219th position out of 250 on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić – Serbia Is Winning list for the 2016 parliamentary election.[6] This was too low a position for election to be a realistic prospect, and indeed she was not elected even as the list won a majority victory with 131 mandates. She was promoted to the 108th position on the party's Aleksandar Vučić — For Our Children list in the 2020 election[7] and was elected when the list won a landslide majority with 188 mandates.
Ranković is a member of the assembly's European integration committee, a deputy member of the foreign affairs committee and the committee on constitutional and legislative issues, a member of Serbia's delegation to the Parliamentary Dimension of the Central European Initiative, the leader of Serbia's parliamentary friendship group with Nepal, and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Montenegro and Norway.
