Vlado Babić
Serbian politician
Vlado Babić (Serbian Cyrillic: Владо Бабић; born 1960) is a politician in Serbia from the country's Bunjevac community. He has served in the National Assembly of Serbia since 2014 as a member of the Serbian Progressive Party.
Private career
Babić is a medical doctor educated at the University of Novi Sad and based in Sombor in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. He was a member of the National Council of the Bunjevac National Minority from 2002 to 2010, at a time when council members were chosen by indirect election.[1] He received the eleventh position on an electoral list led by council president Suzana Kujundžić Ostojić in the 2014 national council election; the list won only four seats, and he was not returned for a new term.[2]
Political career
Babić contested Sombor's first electoral division in the 2004 Vojvodina provincial election as a candidate of a local organization called the Convention for Sombor.[3] He ran for the same seat in the 2008 provincial elections as a candidate of the Serbian Radical Party.[4] He was not elected on either occasion. The Radical Party split following the 2008 elections, and Babić joined the breakaway Progressive Party.
Babić became a member of the Serbian parliament shortly after the 2014 parliamentary election, in which he received the 164th position on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić — Future We Believe In list.[5] The list won a landslide victory with 158 seats out of 250; Babić, who narrowly missed winning election outright, was able to take his seat on May 10, 2014, after members further up the list resigned to take government positions.[6] He was promoted to the 118th position on the Progressive Party's list (renamed as Aleksandar Vučić – Serbia Is Winning) in the 2016 election and was declared elected when the alliance won a second consecutive landslide victory with 131 mandates.[7]
In 2015, while serving as chair of the legislative committee on reproductive health, he chaired a panel discussion on the treatment of cervical cancer.[8] He is currently a member of the committee on the diaspora and Serbs in the region; a member of the committee on labour, social issues, social inclusion, and poverty reduction; a deputy member of the health and family committee; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups for Belarus, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Kazakhstan, Russia, Slovakia, and Tunisia.[9]
Babić joined the parliamentary group of the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (Vajdasági Magyar Szövetség; VMSZ) in early 2020.[10] This allowed the VMSZ to maintain official parliamentary status after another delegate had left the group. Babić remains a member of the Progressive Party.
He was not a candidate for re-election in the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election.
