He was promoted to the fourth position on the Progressive Party's list for the Vranje city assembly in the 2016 Serbian local elections[8] and was re-elected when the list won a majority victory with thirty-five mandates.[9] Following the election, he served as vice-president of the local Progressive Party board and as director of the municipal service organization JKP Komrad. He was removed from both of these positions in 2019 against the backdrop of a division of in the local branch of the party. Several workers from Komrad protested against his dismissal, without success.[10]
Stojilković subsequently left the Progressive Party and joined the Strength of Serbia Movement. In March 2020, he was selected as vice-president of the party.[11]
