Life
Nikezić joined the then Communist Party of Yugoslavia in 1939 and began studying at the University of Belgrade in 1941 . Shortly afterwards he became a member of the Yugoslav resistance movement .
After the establishment of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1945, he took over numerous offices within the Communist Party and the government of Yugoslavia. First he was organizational secretary of the Communist Party in Belgrade in 1945 and then vice-president of the Executive Committee of the City of Belgrade in 1950, before he became secretary of the BdKJ of Belgrade in 1951.
In 1952 he entered the diplomatic service and was ambassador to Egypt , Ethiopia and Libya from 1953 to 1956 and then to Czechoslovakia before he was ambassador to the United States between October 1958 and November 1962 . At the same time he was elected member of the Central Committee (ZK) at the 7th party congress of the BdKJ in 1958 .
In 1962 he was first Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs before he succeeded Koča Popović as Foreign Minister of Yugoslavia on April 23, 1965 and held this office until his replacement by Mišo Pavićević on December 25, 1968. Shortly after the beginning of the Prague Spring , he paid a visit to Czechoslovakia in May 1968 and shortly thereafter at the end of July 1968 criticized the pressure of the other powers of the Warsaw Pact on the Czechoslovakia and compared this with the pressure on Yugoslavia in 1948.
Shortly before, in November 1968, he succeeded Petar Stambolić as chairman of the Central Committee of the Union of Communists in the Socialist Republic of Serbia . He held the office of party leader in Serbia until he was replaced by Tihomir Vlaškalić on October 26, 1972.
In 1972 he lost his state and party offices under pressure from Josip Broz Tito because of his liberal course, as did Ilija Rajačić and Latinka Perović .
