Early life and career

Pajkić was born on 25 October 1995 in Belgrade.[3] His father, Nebojša Pajkić, is a screenwriter while his late mother, Isidora Bjelica, was a writer.[4] His grandfather is a Serbian chess FIDE Master, Dimitrije Bjelica.

He is a student at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts.[5]

At the age of 20, he was appointed director of the non-profit Serbian Scientific Television, and a year later he was admitted to the Trilateral Commission, making him the youngest member of that organization in Europe, if not in the world.[2] Also, for a while, he was the president of the youth organization of the Serbian People's Party, led by Nenad Popović.[3]

In 2017, Pajkić received his own late-night talk and news satire television program on the pro-government TV Pink called "Kontravizija"[6] He has been criticised for promoting the Serbian Progressive Party and its president Aleksandar Vučić as well as for deceiving the public and faking surveys.[7] Pajkić is a fierce critic of the opposition politicians, often insulting them and marking them as traitors.[8][9] In one of his episodes, he compared another Serbian talk show host, Ivan Ivanović to human faeces.[9]

Political career

He is a member of the Serbian Progressive Party and was given the 148th position on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić — For Our Children electoral list for the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election.[10] This was tantamount to election; the list won a landslide victory with 188 mandates out of 250, and Pajkić was sworn in as a member of the National Assembly on 3 August 2020.[11][2]

Personal life

Pajkić is religious and is a member of the Serbian Orthodox Church. In 2017, he announced on Facebook that he had become a pilgrim with the blessing of Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem.[3]

gollark: Oddly, Australia actually stopped them (or ordered them to delete Australians' faces, don't know if they actually *did*).
gollark: They're in the weird position of using technically-public-ish information in ominous privacy-violating ways.
gollark: The only people they can actually go around selling that *to* is governments, though.
