He also served as a member of the National Assembly from 2016 to 2020.
Early life and education
[edit]Ješić was born on 3 August 1974 in Sremska Mitrovica. He graduated from a high school in Inđija and later from the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Novi Sad. He completed a specialist course on public policy at the Faculty of Political Sciences of the University of Belgrade.[1]
Political career
[edit]Civic Alliance of Serbia
[edit]Ješić started his political career in 1996 when he founded the Inđija branch of the liberal Civic Alliance of Serbia (GSS).[2] In 2000, Ješić was appointed the head of GSS's Vojvodina branch. He was one of the founders of Otpor. As part of the Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS) coalition, Ješić was its coordinator for Inđija, Pećinci, Stara Pazova and Irig for the 2000 elections.[3]
In the 2000 local election, Ješić was elected to the Municipal Assembly of Inđija and shortly after was elected mayor by the Municipal Assembly. He became the youngest mayor in Serbia, at the age of 26.[2] In 2001, Ješić was included in the GSS presidency.[3] He was re-elected mayor in 2004.[1] In the summer of 2006, Ješić left GSS, accusing its president Nataša Mićić of "merging" GSS into the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).[3]
Democratic Party
[edit]On 31 October 2006, Ješić announced that he is joining the Democratic Party (DS), stating that DS is the "only serious democratic party that can continue reforms in Serbia". Ješić was praised by DS's vice president Bojan Pajtić. Ješić revealed that he voted against the new constitution in the 2006 constitutional referendum.[4] He was re-elected mayor in 2008.[1]
In July 2012, Ješić was appointed vice president of the Government of Vojvodina and provincial secretary for agriculture, water management and forestry by Bojan Pajtić.[5] He resigned from both positions in June 2014.[6]
Ješić was in charge of DS's branch for agriculture, water management and forestry, as well as its Srem branch. From 2014 to 2016, he served as the vice president of DS.[2] In the 2016 parliamentary election, Ješić was elected to the National Assembly and served until 2020. Ješić was one DS members which were against the party's decision to boycott the 2020 parliamentary election.[7]
On 5 November 2024, during the protests following the Novi Sad railway station canopy collapse, Ješić was detained by the police after attempting to prevent an arrest of a protester.[8] He was released on 7 November.[9] He turned himself over to the police the next day after an announcement that he will be detained once again.[10]
