Stojan Radenović (Serbian Cyrillic: Стојан Раденовић; born 9 March 1948) is a Serbian academic and politician. An internationally respected mathematician, he has served in Serbia's national assembly since 2022 as an independent delegate endorsed by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS). He was acting president of the assembly from February to March 2024.
Early life and academic career
[edit]Radenović was born in the village of Dobra Voda in the municipality of Bojnik, in what was then the People's Republic of Serbia in the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. He received a Ph.D. in 1979 and taught for the next two decades at the University of Kragujevac Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. From 2000 to 2013, he was a full professor at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
In 2016, Radenović was personally responsible for the University of Belgrade ranking in the world's top three hundred universities for the first time on the prestigious Shanghai list, due to his large number of published works and citations. This accomplishment brought him to the attention of the wider public.[1][2]
Politician
[edit]In the 2022 Serbian parliamentary election, the Serbian Progressive Party reserved the lead positions on its Together We Can Do Everything electoral list for non-party cultural figures and academics.[3] Radenović was given the second position on the list; this was tantamount to election, and he was indeed elected when the list won a plurality victory with 120 out of 250 mandates.[4] During the campaign, he credited the SNS with improving conditions in Serbia over its decade in power.[5] In his first term, Radenović was a member of the education committee[a] and the subcommittee on science and higher education.[6][7]
He was given the ninth position on the SNS's list in the 2023 parliamentary election and was re-elected when the list won a majority victory with 129 seats.[8] As the oldest member of the new parliament, Radenović was chosen as interim president when the assembly convened in February 2024.[9] He served in this role until 20 March, when Ana Brnabić was elected to the position.[10]
He is now once again a member of the assembly's education committee.[11]
