Political career

Marinković was a candidate of the Strength of Serbia Movement in the National Assembly elections of 2007 and 2008. The party's electoral list did not cross the threshold to win representation in the assembly on either occasion.[3]

He later joined the SDPS, which contested the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election as part of the Choice for a Better Life alliance led by Boris Tadić's Democratic Party. Marinković received the fifty-first position on the alliance's list and was elected when the list won sixty-seven mandates.[4] The SDPS subsequently joined a new administration led by Serbian Progressive Party and the Socialist Party of Serbia, and Marinković served as part of its parliamentary majority. He was chair of Serbia's parliamentary friendship group with the United Arab Emirates during his first term; in one interview, he spoke of the importance of improving Serbia's relations with other Gulf states, devoting particular attention to Kuwait.[5]

The SDPS joined the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić — Future We Believe In electoral list for the 2014 parliamentary election. Marinković received the fiftieth position on the list and was returned for a second term when the alliance won a landslide victory with 158 out of 250 mandates.[6] He was selected as a deputy speaker of the assembly in April 2014;[7] in this capacity, he held official diplomatic meetings with ambassadors from the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.[8] In January 2016, he reported that negotiations had started for American companies to supply gas to Serbia via Krk in Croatia.[9]

For the 2016 election, Marinković received the fiftieth position on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić – Serbia Is Winning list and was re-elected when the list won a second consecutive majority with 131 seats.[10] He was once again selected as a deputy speaker of the assembly following the election. He met with Belarusian information minister Liliya Ananich in October 2016 and was subsequently quoted as saying, "Serbia has a warm attitude towards Belarus and President Alexander Lukashenko."[11]

During the 2016–20 parliament, Marinković was a member of the parliamentary committee on the economy, regional development, trade, tourism, and energy; a member of the committee on the rights of the child; a deputy member of the committee on finance, state budget, and control of public spending; the chair of the subcommittee for the reports on audits conducts by the State Audit Institution; the head of Serbia's parliamentary friendship groups with Guatemala, Iraq, Israel, Pakistan, and the Sovereign Military Order of Malta; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with South Korea, Ukraine, and the United States of America.[12] He is also a member of the informal parliamentary green group, and in 2014 he invited American companies to invest in Serbia's energy sector, and particularly in the field of renewable energy resources.[13]

For the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election, Marinković changed his party affiliation from the SDPS to the Serbian Progressive Party.[14] He received the forty-ninth position on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić — For Our Children list in the 2020 parliamentary election[15] and was re-elected to a fourth term when the list won a landslide victory with 188 mandates.
