Milenko Makivić (Serbian Cyrillic: Миленко Макивић; born 25 February 1942) is a former Serbian politician. He served in the Assembly of Vojvodina from 2004 to 2008 as a member of the far-right Serbian Radical Party (SRS).

Early life and private career edit

Makivić was born to a Serb family in the village of Lusići, Banja Luka, in what was then the fascist Independent State of Croatia. He received his early education in the municipality after the establishment of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia.

He graduated from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Dental Medicine and later earned a master's degree from the Faculty of Medicine. He moved to Sremska Mitrovica in Vojvodina, Serbia, after receiving a job in the community.

Makivić spent three years working in medicine in Libya.[1]

Politician edit

Makivić was elected to the Vojvodina provincial assembly in the 2004 provincial election for the Sremska Mitrovica division. The Democratic Party (DS) and its allies won the election, and the Radicals served in opposition for the term that followed.

Makivić also ran for mayor of Sremska Mitrovica in the 2004 Serbian local elections and was defeated in the second round. He was elected in the concurrent municipal assembly election and served in opposition at that level as well.[2]

He was not a candidate for re-election at either the provincial or municipal level in 2008.
