Nevenka Kostadinova (Serbian Cyrillic: Невенка Костадинова; born 1972) is a politician in Serbia from the country's Bulgarian community. She has served in the National Assembly of Serbia since October 2019 as a member of the Serbian Progressive Party.
Private career
Kostadinova has a bachelor's degree in Chemistry. She lives in Bosilegrad, a predominantly Bulgarian community in Serbia's southeastern corner.[1]
Political career
Kostadinova was elected to the Bosilegrad Municipal Assembly in 2012 and re-elected in 2016.[2] She was also elected to Serbia's Bulgarian National Council in 2014 on an electoral list headed by Bosilegrad mayor Vladimir Zahariev.[3] She later broke with Zahariev, charging him with responsibility for the withdrawal of proposed investment in the municipality by the Bulgarian company Kalinel.[4] She received the third position on a rival list led by Stefan Kostov in 2018 and narrowly missed re-election when it won only two mandates.[5][6]
Member of the National Assembly
Kostadinova received the 116th position on the list of the United Regions of Serbia in the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election.[7] The list won sixteen mandates, and she was not elected. She was awarded the 150th position on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić – Serbia Is Winning list in the 2016 parliamentary election and was not initially elected when the list won a majority victory with 131 seats. Following the departure of other elected members further up the list, she was awarded a mandate on 7 October 2019.[8]
She received the 131st position on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić — For Our Children list in the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election[9] and was elected to a second term when the list won a landslide majority with 188 mandates.
