Dragoslav Jovanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Драгослав Јовановић; born 22 February 1937) is a former politician in Serbia. He was a deputy prime minister in the Serbian government from 1993 to 1994, serving in the administration of Nikola Šainović. During his time in office, Jovanović was a member of the Socialist Party of Serbia (Socijalistička partija Srbije, SPS).

Early life

Jovanović is from Požarevac in Central Serbia.[1]

Politician

The governing Socialist Party of Serbia won a plurality victory in the

1992 Serbian parliamentary election and formed a new administration in February 1993 with informal support from the far-right Serbian Radical Party (Srpska radikalna stranka, SRS). Jovanović was appointed as one of Serbia's five deputy prime ministers.[2]

The SPS–SRS alliance broke down later in 1993, largely due to disagreements over support for

Yugoslavian parliament. This was one of a number of factors that led Serbian president Slobodan Milošević to dissolve the Serbian assembly and call new elections for late 1993.[3]

In late 1993, Jovanović represented the Serbian government in meeting a delegation purporting to represent the

sanctions." The delegation was later discovered to be fraudulent, and the Rothschild family clarified that they had nothing to do with the matter.[4]

The SPS won an increased victory in the 1993 Serbian election, and a new ministry was formed in March 1994. Jovanović was not reappointed to the government.[5] He was present at the founding convention of Mirjana Marković's Yugoslav Left (Jugoslovenska Levica, JUL) in 1994, although it is not clear if he joined the party.[6]

In the late 1990s, an individual named Dragoslav Jovanović served as the

Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's ambassador to the European Union.[7]
This may have been the same person.
