Miloš Šibul

Miloš Šibul (Serbian Cyrillic: Милош Шибул; born 1977) is a politician in Serbia. He served in the Assembly of Vojvodina from 2012 to 2016 as a member of the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina (LSV). He is currently the president of the League of Vojvodinian of Farmers (Lige paora Vojvodine).

Early life and private career

Šibul was born in Novi Sad, Socialist Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, in what was then the Socialist Republic of Serbia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He was raised in Kikinda, where his family has been established for several generations. Šibul is a graduate of the University of Novi Sad's Faculty of Agriculture, specializing in phytomedicine, and has worked for the private company Poljopromet as an expert advisor in the use of pesticides. He also works as a farmer.[1]

Political career

Šibul joined the LSV in 1995 and has served several terms as the leader of its Kikinda municipal committee, as well as leading the party's group in the municipal assembly.[2]

He was elected to the Assembly of Vojvodina in the 2012 provincial election for Kikinda's second constituency seat. The LSV participated in Vojvodina's coalition government during this time, and Šibul served as a supporter of the ministry. Vojvodina subsequently abolished its constituency seats and adopted a system of pure proportional representation. Šibul received the seventeenth position on the LSV's electoral list in the 2016 provincial election and was not returned when the list won nine seats.[3] He is currently the second candidate in sequence with the right to enter the assembly if another LSV representative leaves the assembly before the end of their term.

He also appeared as a LSV candidate in the 2012 and 2016 Serbian parliamentary elections, although he was not elected on either occasion.[4]

As president of the League of Vojvodinian Farmers, Šibul is an opponent of Serbia's Law on Agricultural Land, on the grounds that it allows the government to give state land to investors without clear criteria.[5] He has also criticized Serbia's government for confiscating land from indebted farmers unable to pay compulsory fees and taxes.[6]
