Biography
Vojislav Mihailović is a grandson of Chetnik leader Draža Mihailović and was named after his father's brother who had died somewhere around Foča in 1943 while fighting for the Chetniks. Vojislav was the Mayor of Belgrade between January 22, 1999 and October 5, 2000, as a member of Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO), and was the party's candidate for the president of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia at the 2000 presidential elections, where he has earned 2.95% of votes. In 2005, he left SPO following disagreements with the party's leader Vuk Drašković, and has consequently formed Serbian Democratic Renewal Movement (SDPO), together with several other former members of SPO. He was a co-president of SDPO, together with the former Mayor of Kragujevac, Veroljub Stevanović.
Mihailović is married and a father of two. In 2006 he launched a motion to the High Court in Belgrade to politically rehabilitate his grandfather Draža Mihailović.[1]
