Vuk Radojević

Vuk Radojević (; born 31 January 1978) is a Serbian agrarian economist and politician who has served as President of Municipality of Bečej since 2023. He previously served as Secretary of agriculture, water management, and forestry in the Government of Vojvodina from 2016 to 2020. Radojević is a member of the Serbian Progressive Party.

Early life and private career Radojević was born on 31 January 1978 in Bečej, SAP Vojvodina, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia. He was raised in the community and subsequently earned a bachelor's degree (2002), master's degree (2007), and Ph.D. (2018) from the University of Novi Sad's Faculty of Agriculture, focusing on the field of agroeconomy. His master's thesis considered export opportunities of agro-industrial products to the European Union.

Politician Radojević sought election to the Assembly of Vojvodina in the 2012 provincial election in the Bečej electoral division. He was defeated in the second round.

He also appeared in the lead position on a coalition electoral list for the Bečej municipal assembly in the concurrent 2012 Serbian local elections and was elected when the list won eight mandates. The Democratic Party won a minority victory in election, but the Progressives were able to form coalition government with the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians with Radojević as mayor. He served in this role for the next four years, led the Progressive alliance to win a majority in Municipality of Bečej in the 2016 Serbian local elections, and was chosen for a second term as mayor following the election.

His second term as mayor was very brief; days after the appointment, a new government of Vojvodina was announced and Radojević was named as provincial agriculture minister. In October 2016, he announced loans of 132 million dinars to agricultural producers. In subsequent years, he travelled to Israel and Cyprus to discuss potential agricultural investments in Serbia and Vojvodina. In an interview toward the end of his term in 2020, he said that more young people in Serbia were becoming involved with agricultural production. He stood down from the provincial cabinet after the 2020 Vojvodina provincial election.

Radojević again led the Progressive Party's coalition list for Bečej in the 2020 Serbian local elections but was not elcted as the President of Municipality when the list won another majority victory. After Dragan Tošić, President of Municipality, died Radojević was appointed as the new president in April 2023.
