Political career

City of Belgrade

Zeljug was elected to the Assembly of the City of Belgrade in the 2008 city election on the electoral list of the far-right Serbian Radical Party.[2] The results of this election were initially inconclusive, but the Radicals ultimately served in opposition. The party experienced a major split later in the year, with several members joining the breakaway and more moderate Progressive Party under the leadership of Tomislav Nikolić and Aleksandar Vučić. Zeljug was among those who sided with the Progressives. He appeared on the Progressive Party's list in the 2012 local elections, although he did not serve in the sitting of the municipal assembly that followed.[3]

The Progressive Party and its allies won majority in the 2014 Belgrade City Assembly election, and Zeljug was afterwards appointed as a member of the city council (i.e., the executive branch of the municipal government).[4][5] He resigned following his election to the National Assembly in 2016.[6]

Member of the National Assembly

Zeljug received the eighty-eighth position on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić — Future We Believe In list in the 2016 Serbian parliamentary election and was elected when the list won a majority victory with 131 out of 250 mandates.[7] He is currently a member of the assembly committee on administrative, budgetary, mandate, and immunity issues; a deputy member of the health and family committee and the agriculture, forestry, and water management committee; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Austria, Belarus, Canada, China, Denmark, Germany, Japan, Russia, Slovenia, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.[8]
