politics

Zoran Živković joined the Democratic Party in 1992 and came for it in the Serbian parliament. After the local elections of 1996, the results of which were initially not recognized by the Milošević government , he led the protests in Niš and after their success became - like Đinđić in Belgrade - the first democratically elected mayor of his city. After the fall of Milošević in 2000, Živković became Minister of the Interior of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

On March 18, 2003 - six days after the murder of his predecessor Zoran Đinđić - Živković was elected as the new Prime Minister by the Serbian parliament. He announced that he would continue to follow the course of his predecessor. Before the parliamentary elections just under a year later, however, he lost the election of party chairman at the DS party conference to Boris Tadić , who subsequently also became a presidential candidate and won the elections in June 2004. Živković largely withdrew from everyday political life and recently held no offices in the DS.

Since 2013 he has been President of Nova Stranka , which was founded in April 2013.
