Risto Komnenović (Serbian Cyrillic: Ристо Комненовић; born 17 August 1953) is a Serbian politician. He served in the Vojvodina provincial assembly from 1992 to 2000 as a member of the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS).
Private career
[edit]Komnenović is a medical doctor. During his political career, he lived in the village of Vojvoda Stepa in Nova Crnja.[1]
Politician
[edit]Provincial representative
[edit]Vojvodina;s first provincial election following the restoration of multi-party democracy took place in May 1992. Komnenović ran as the Socialist Party's candidate for the Nova Crnja division and was one of twenty-one candidates elected in the first round of voting.[2] The SPS won a majority victory overall, and Komnenović supported the provincial government in the assembly. He was re-elected in the repeat election of December 1992, which was again won by the SPS.[3]
Komnenović was elected for a third term in the 1996 provincial election, defeating candidates from the Zajedno coalition and the Serbian Radical Party (SRS).[4] The Socialist Party won a third consecutive victory, and he remained a government supporter.
Since 2000
[edit]From 1990 to 2000, Serbian political life was dominated by the authoritarian rule of SPS leader Slobodan Milošević. Milošević was defeated in the 2000 Yugoslavian presidential election and subsequently fell from power after mass protests. The SPS also experienced a massive defeat in the 2000 Vojvodina provincial election, which was held concurrently with the presidential vote. Komnenović was not re-elected in Nova Crnja; available online sources do not clarify if he was a candidate.[5]
Komnenović sought re-election to the provincial assembly in the 2004 provincial election and was defeated in the second round of voting. He also appeared in the second position on the SPS's electoral list for Nova Crnja in the concurrent 2004 Serbian local elections and was not elected when the list won only a single mandate.[6][7][8]
He ran for the Nova Crnja division again in the 2008 Vojvodina provincial election and was again defeated in the second round. He was later a nominal candidate for the SPS in the 2012 local elections, appearing in the sixteenth position on the party's list in Nova Crnja.[9] The party won four seats, and he was not elected.
