Vojvodina provincial politics

edit

Slovaks Forward was registered as a political party in late 2015.[6] It joined the Serbian Progressive Party's electoral alliance for the 2016 Vojvodina provincial election; Surovi was included on the Progressive Party's electoral list in the thirty-third position and was elected when the list won a majority victory with sixty-three out of 120 mandates.[7] He was promoted to the fifteenth position on the Progressive list in the 2020 provincial election and was re-elected when the list won an increased majority with seventy-six mandates.[8] As of 2021, Surovi is the sole representative of his party in the assembly. He sits in caucus with the Progressive Party's Aleksandar Vučić – For Our Children parliamentary group.[9]

Surovi was confirmed for a new term as party leader in December 2019.[10]
