Vesna Ivković

Vesna Ivković (Serbian Cyrillic: Весна Ивковић; born 1960) is a medical doctor and a politician in Serbia. She has served in the National Assembly of Serbia since 2016 as a member of the Socialist Party of Serbia.

Private career

Ivković is a medical doctor and labour medicine specialist in Smederevo.[1] A 2013 article in Politika described her as the director of the city's health centre.[2]

Political career

Ivković received the 233rd position on the electoral list led by the Socialist Party for the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election.[3] This was too low a position for election to be a reasonable prospect, and indeed she was not elected.

She received the thirtieth position on the Socialist-led list in the 2016 election[4] and narrowly missed direct election when the list won twenty-nine mandates. Following the resignation of party leader Ivica Dačić to accept a cabinet position, however, she was awarded the vacant mandate and was able to take her seat on October 6, 2016.[5] The Socialist Party is part of Serbia's coalition government, and Ivković serves with its parliamentary majority.

Ivković is a member of the parliamentary committee on human and minority rights and gender equality; a deputy member of the health and family committee; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups for Belarus, Greece, Italy, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, Spain, and Switzerland.[6]
