Nevena Adžemović ( Serbian Cyrillic: Невена Аџемовић, born December 4, 1982) is a Serbian model, singer, and former politician. She was a member of the National Assembly of Serbia from 2012 to 2014 as a member of the New Serbia party.
Early life and career
Adžemović was born in Belgrade, then part of the Socialist Republic of Serbia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. [1] She became a public figure in Serbia as part of the group Models. [2]
Parliamentarian
The New Serbia party contested the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election as part of the Let's Get Serbia Moving alliance led by Tomislav Nikolić. Adžemović received the seventy-fifth position on the alliance's electoral list and, as the list won seventy-three mandates, was not initially declared elected to the assembly. [3] After New Serbia leader Velimir Ilić resigned from parliament to take a cabinet position, however, she was able to take his vacated position. Her tenure in the assembly began on July 30, 2012. [4] For the next two years, she served as a parliamentary supporter of Ivica Dačić's coalition government, of which New Serbia was a member.
The Serbian media noted that some parliamentarians had reservations about Adžemović's qualifications for the assembly, due in part to her previous career as a model. She received support from Ilić, who cited her training as an economist and described her critics as prejudiced. [5]
Following her election to parliament, Adžemović indicated that she had joined the Beogradski fond za političku izuzetnost (Belgrade Fund for Political Excellence) led by Sonja Licht. [6] She identified children's rights and gender equality as her primary areas of interest. [7] Adžemović was a member of the Serbian parliamentary friendship groups for Australia, France, Mexico, Morocco, and Turkey. [8] She was dropped from New Serbia's electoral list in early 2014 and subsequently announced her departure from politics. [9]
