First term as mayor of Belgrade
edit1891 Mayoral Election
editOn 15 April 1881, the board of the municipality of Belgrade decided to hold elections for the president of the municipality on 5 May, as the previous president, Nikola Pašić, had vacated the position after becoming the president of the Council of Ministers of Serbia.[5] The elections for the president of the Belgrade municipality were called for 19 May 1891. Milovan Marinković, a director and professor from Belgrade, was elected as the mayor of the municipality after receiving 91.7 % of the votes (785 votes) while his opponent, Dragutin Ilić received only 8.3% of the votes (71 votes). On 23 May 1891 Marinković's election as mayor was confirmed by the municipal court of the city of Belgrade.[6] Marinković, took the oath and assumed his duties at an extraordinary session of the Belgrade board on 23 May 1891.[7]
Inauguration of Belgrade's first tram line
editOn 14 October 1892, under the leadership of Mayor Marinković, Belgrade inaugurated its first tram line, which ran from Kalemegdan to Slavija and was horse-powered. Marinković, accompanied by members of his administration, was among the first passengers on this historic journey. The tram set off at 11:00 AM, making its way toward Terazije Square, where thousands of citizens had gathered to witness the event.[8]
