Biography

Pešić was born in Danilovgrad, then part of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. He studied economic sciences at University of Sarajevo's Faculty of Economics.

In 1998, he became Finance Minister of Yugoslavia, when Socialist People's Party (SNP) leader at that time Momir Bulatović, a competitor of Milo Đukanović, became Yugoslav head of the government. After the fall of Slobodan Milošević, Democratic Opposition of Serbia (DOS) needed the SNP on the Yugoslav federal level to form a majority, because Đukanović had boycotted the 2000 Yugoslav election and openly called for Montenegrin independence from FR Yugoslavia.

He died on 8 September 2016 at the age of 62.[1]
