Politician
[edit]Municipal politics
[edit]Grahovac has been a candidate for the Subotica municipal assembly on three occasions. He was originally a member of the Democratic Party of Serbia and, while still a student, appeared in the third position on the party's electoral list in the 2004 Serbian local elections.[2] The list narrowly fell below the electoral threshold to win representation in the assembly.[3]
The Democratic Party of Serbia contested the 2012 Serbian local elections in Subotica in an alliance with the far-right Serbian Radical Party and the Serbian Democratic Party. Grahovac received the forty-sixth position on the coalition's list.[4] The list won six mandates, and he was not returned.[5]
He later left the Democratic Party of Serbia to join the Progressive Party, receiving the fortieth position on the party's list in the 2016 local elections.[6] The list won thirty-one seats, and he was again not elected.[7]
Parliamentarian
[edit]Grahovac was given the 188th position on the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić — For Our Children list for the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election[8] and was elected when the list won a landslide majority with exactly 188 out of 250 mandates. He is a member of the committee on labour, social issues, social inclusion, and poverty reduction; a deputy member of the environmental protection committee and the committee on human and minority rights and gender equality; and a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with China, Hungary, Mexico, Moldova, Morocco, the Philippines, Portugal, Slovenia, and Turkey.[9]
