Gordana Zorić

Zorić entered political life as a member of the PSS. She was elected to the Vojvodina assembly in the 2004 Vojvodina provincial election, winning the Kovin constituency seat in the second round. She was also elected to the Kovin municipal assembly on the PSS's electoral list in the concurrent 2004 local elections when the party won six seats in the municipality.^[2] In the provincial assembly, she was a member of the committee for health and social policy and the committee for demographic policy and social care, as well as a sub-committee on Vojvodina's spas.^[3]

Zorić was re-elected to the Kovin municipal assembly in special new elections held on 4 June 2006 when the PSS list won four seats.^[4][5] She also ran for mayor of Kovin in a by-election held later in the month and was defeated.^[6] (From 2002 to 2007, Serbian mayors were directly elected; before and after this time, they were chosen by elected local assembly members.) She later appeared in the seventh position on the PSS's list in the 2007 Serbian parliamentary election; the list did not cross the electoral threshold to win representation in the assembly.^[7]

She did not seek re-election to the provincial assembly in 2008, and online information does not indicate if she was a candidate in that year's local elections. She later left the PSS.

Zorić appeared on the SNS's electoral list in the 2009 local elections and received a mandate when the list won nine seats.^[8][9] The Democratic Party (Demokratska stranka, DS) and its allies won the election, and the Progressives served in opposition. She received the lead position on the SNS's list in the 2013 local elections and was re-elected when the list won a majority victory with twenty-four out of forty-five seats.^[10][11] When the new assembly convened, she was chosen as mayor.^[12]

Zorić was given the eighty-first position on the SNS's list in the 2014 Serbian parliamentary election and was elected when the list won a majority victory with 158 out of 250 seats.^[13] As she could not hold a dual mandate, she resigned as mayor in June 2014.^[14] In the national assembly, she served on the committee for environmental protection; was a deputy member of the health and family committee and the committee on labour, social affairs, social inclusion, and poverty reduction; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Canada, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, the Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.^[15] She was not a candidate for re-election in 2016 and has not returned to political life since this time.
