Đorđe Todorović (Serbian Cyrillic: Ђорђе Тодоровић; born 1991) is a Serbian politician. He served in the Serbian national assembly on an almost continuous basis from 2020 to 2024 as a member of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).
Private career
[edit]Todorović was born in Belgrade, Serbia, in what was then the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.[1] He is from the Belgrade municipality of Palilula and is an engineer of organizational sciences.[2]
Politician
[edit]Municipal politics
[edit]Todorović appeared in the nineteenth position on the Progressive Party's electoral list for the Palilula municipal assembly in the 2016 Serbian local elections and was elected when the list won a plurality victory with twenty-seven out of fifty-five seats.[3][4] He did not seek re-election in 2020. He was described in a February 2020 article as a student in the SNS Academy of Young Leaders program.[5]
Parliamentarian
[edit]Todorović was given the sixth position on the SNS-led For Our Children list in the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election.[6] This was tantamount to election, and he was indeed elected when the list won a landslide majority with 188 out of 250 mandates. In his first term, he was a member of the foreign affairs committee and the committee on constitutional and legislative issues, a deputy member of the defence and internal affairs committee and the committee on Kosovo–Metohija, a member of Serbia's delegation to the parliamentary assembly of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the leader of Serbia's parliamentary friendship group with Lebanon, and a member of sixty other parliamentary friendship groups.[a][7]
Todorović criticized the media outlets N1 and Nova S in a December 2020 debate, charging them with being "anti-state" and saying that they were "slowly becoming political parties."[8]
He was given the 126th position on the SNS's Together We Can Do Everything list in the 2022 Serbian parliamentary election and was not immediately re-elected when the list won a plurality victory with 120 seats.[9] He received a mandate in October 2022 as the replacement for another party member.
In the 2022–24 parliament, Todorović was member of the spatial planning committee,[b] a deputy member of the judiciary committee[c] and the committee on Kosovo-Metohija, the head of Serbia's parliamentary friendship groups with Lebanon and Lithuania, and a member of 118 other parliamentary friendship groups.[d][10] He was a vocal supporter of Aleksandar Vučić's policies toward Kosovo, saying that the Serbian president was working to prevent international recognition of Kosovo as an independent state and to defend the disputed territory's Serb population. Todorović described opposition figure Vuk Jeremić as a "false altruist" interested only in building his reputation among the western powers.[11]
He was not a candidate in the 2023 Serbian parliamentary election,[12] and his term ended when the new assembly convened in February 2024.
