Education and career

Srećković was born on 12 April 1974, in Belgrade.[1] He was awarded his Bachelor and Master's degrees at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Belgrade.[1]

In his career, Srecković held the position of the Deputy Director-General (CEO) of aircompany JAT Airways from 2007 through 2008, and he also served as the Deputy Minister of Trade, Tourism and Services in the Government of the Republic of Serbia from 2004 through 2007.[1] During this time, he was the head of the working group for drafting and adopting the Law on Trade, Law on Prices, Law on Consumer Protection, Law Public Advertising, and Law on Competition Protection.

He was a member of the Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO) from 1992 through 2012.[1] He served as the party's Vice President from 2005 through 2012, and before that he was the director and a member of the Presidency, as well as a member of the Executive and Governing Boards.

In February 2020, the opposition coalition the ZZS belonged to, the Alliance for Serbia (SZS), decided to boycott the elections at all government levels. The ZZS however made the decision to participate in the local elections in Sabac, thus withdrawing from the Alliance.[2] Sreckovic characterized that decision as destructing the unity of the democratic opposition, he voted against that decision and left the party.[2]

In March 2020, he became a member of the Presidency of the Party of Freedom and Justice (SSP).
