Politician Elected official Milenković appeared in the second position on the Democratic Party's electoral list for the municipal assembly of New Belgrade in the 2004 Serbian local elections and was elected when the list won a plurality victory with twenty-eight out of sixty-seven seats.

(From 2000 to 2011, mandates in Serbian parliamentary elections were awarded to sponsoring parties or coalitions rather than individual candidates, and it was common practice for the mandates to be assigned out of numerical order. Milenković's position on the list – which was in any event largely alphabetical – had no formal bearing on whether he received a mandate.)

During this period, the Democratic Party was part of an unstable coalition government with the rival Democratic Party of Serbia (Demokratska stranka Srbije, DSS), and Milenković served as part of the administration's majority. His term was brief; a new assembly election was called in 2008, and Milenković was not a candidate.
