Sonja Pavlović

Sonja Pavlović (Serbian Cyrillic: Соња Павловић; born 1957) is a politician in Serbia. She has served in the National Assembly of Serbia since 2016, originally as a member of the reformist It's Enough – Restart association and later with the Civic Platform.

Early life and private career

Pavlović is a graduate of the University of Belgrade Faculty of Architecture (1985). She has worked on more than one hundred design projects, has owned the ARHIDUR project bureau in Belgrade since 2010, and has participated in the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts's contest for improving the city's Sava amphitheater. She lives in Belgrade.[1]

Political career

Pavlović received the eleventh position on the It's Enough – Restart electoral list in the 2016 Serbian parliamentary election and was elected when the list won sixteen mandates.[2] The election was won by the Serbian Progressive Party and its allies, and Pavlović initially served as an opposition member in the parliamentary grouping led by Saša Radulović.

In February 2017, Pavlović and two of her parliamentary colleagues left It's Enough – Restart and launched a new organization called the Civic Platform.[3] In May of the same year, the three members of this group joined with two parliamentarians from the New Party to start a parliamentary caucus known as the Independent MPs Club.[4] This group has a rotating leadership,[5] and Pavlović is currently its deputy leader.[6]

Pavlović is a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Croatia, Italy, Montenegro, Qatar, and Russia.[7]

Along with several other opposition parties, the Civic Platform is boycotting the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election.[8]
