Krsto Janjušević
Krsto Janjušević (Serbian Cyrillic: Крсто Јањушевић; born 23 August 1981) is a politician in Serbia. He has served in the National Assembly of Serbia since 2016 as a member of the Serbian Progressive Party.
Early life and career
Janjušević was born in Priboj, in what was then the Socialist Republic of Serbia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He graduated from the University of Kragujevac Faculty of Technical Sciences in Čačak with a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Industrial Management. In 2012, he became the assistant to the mayor of Priboj on matters of local economic development.[1][2][3]
Political career
Janjušević received the 175th position on the Progressive-led Aleksandar Vučić — Future We Believe In electoral list for the 2014 Serbian parliamentary election.[4] The list won a majority victory with 158 out of 250 mandates; Janjušević was not elected and narrowly missed being awarded a vacant mandate prior to the dissolution of the assembly two years later, following the departures of other Progressive Party members further up the list.[5] He was promoted to the 110th position on the Progressive-led list for the 2016 election and was elected when the list won 131 mandates.[6]
During the 2016–20 parliament, Janjušević was a member of the parliamentary committee on constitutional and legislative issues; a deputy member of the defence and internal affairs committee, the committee on the diaspora and Serbs in the region, the European integration committee, and the committee on spatial planning, transport, infrastructure, and telecommunications; the leader of Serbia's parliamentary friendship group with the State of Palestine; and a member of the friendship groups for Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, China, the Czech Republic, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.[7]
He received the fifty-first position on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić — For Our Children list in the 2020 parliamentary election[8] and was elected to a second term when the list won a landslide victory with 188 mandates.
Janjušević is also active in municipal politics. He was elected to the Priboj municipal assembly in the 2016 local election after receiving the second position on the Progressive Party's list[9][10] and was selected as chair of the assembly in June 2016.[11] He was also appointed by Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić as trustee of the Progressive Party organization in Nova Varoš in September 2017, when the party's municipal board was temporarily dissolved.[12]
