Novica Pavlović

Pavlović was elected to the Vojvodina assembly in the May 1992 provincial election, winning Zrenjanin's seventh division in the second round of voting.^[2] The Socialists won a landslide majority victory in this election, due in part to a boycott by Serbia's leading democratic opposition parties, and Pavlović served as a government supporter.

He was also elected to the Zrenjanin city assembly in the May 1992 Serbian local elections, which were held concurrently with the provincial vote. The Socialists won a majority victory in the city, again due in part to the opposition boycott. When the assembly convened on 25 June 1992, Pavlović was chosen as president of its executive committee.^[3]

Due to concerns about the legitimacy of the May 1992 votes, new provincial and local elections were held in December 1992. Pavlović was re-elected to the provincial assembly, again for Zrenjanin's seventh division. The Socialists won the greatest number of seats in the provincial assembly but fell below majority status; the party nonetheless managed to remain in power for the next four years, and Pavlović again served as a supporter of the administration.^[4][5]

The Socialists won a reduced majority at the local level in Zrenjanin in December 1992. Pavlović was re-elected to the city assembly and was appointed to a second term as president of the executive committee on 15 January 1993.^[6] Shortly after his appointment, he blamed fuel shortages in Zrenjanin on corruption and mismanagement at the regional level in the Central Banat District.^[7] He ultimately served for the entire term.^[8]

Pavlović was defeated in his bid for re-election to the Zrenjanin city assembly in 1996.^[9] He was also not re-elected to the provincial assembly, and his term ended when the new assembly convened in early 1997; available online sources do not specify if he was a candidate at the provincial level.
