Lav Grigorije Pajkić (Serbian Cyrillic: Лав Григорије Пајкић; born 25 October 1995) is a Serbian politician, film and television producer and television presenter. He is a member of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) and is currently serving as the state secretary in the ministry of labour, employment, veteran and social policy since 16 December 2022. Prior to this, he was a member of the National Assembly from 2020 to 2022.[1][2]
Pajkić was born on 25 October 1995 in Belgrade.[3] His father, Nebojša Pajkić, is a screenwriter while his late mother, Isidora Bjelica, was a writer.[4] His grandfather is a Serbian chess FIDE Master, Dimitrije Bjelica.[citation needed]
He is a student at the Faculty of Dramatic Arts.[5]
At the age of 20, he was appointed director of the non-profit Serbian Scientific Television, and a year later he was admitted to the Trilateral Commission[citation needed], making him the youngest member of that organization in Europe, if not in the world.[2]
In 2017, Pajkić received his own late-night talk and news satire television program on the pro-government TV Pink called "Kontravizija"[6] He has been criticised for promoting the Serbian Progressive Party and its president Aleksandar Vučić as well as for deceiving the public and faking surveys.[7] Pajkić is a fierce critic of the opposition politicians, often insulting them and marking them as traitors.[8][9] In one of his episodes, he compared another Serbian talk show host, Ivan Ivanović to human faeces.[9]
