This is the Serbian minister who does not have a degree

The Minister of Family Care and Demography of Serbia, Milica Gjurjević Stamenkovski, in her biography states that she graduated in political science at the Faculty of Political Science.

However, CINS indicates that she never graduated there.

Milica Gjurgjevic Stamenkovski, for the first time since the beginning of politics, did not appear in the National Assembly as an opposition deputy at the beginning of May. In the republican elections in December 2023, in coalition with the Dveri movement, her Zavetnici party did not pass the registration. Despite this, Gjurgjevic Stamenkovski came to the Assembly, but this time as the new Minister for Family Care and Demography.

In her biography, which was submitted to the MPs along with the biographies of other proposed ministers, it is said that after finishing high school in Belgrade, she enrolled in the Faculty of Political Sciences, where she graduated in political science.

This is what has been said on her personal website for years, and after she was elected minister, the same thing is said on the website of the Ministry she leads.

However, even though he enrolled at the Faculty of Political Sciences in Belgrade (FPN) after high school, Gjurdjevic Stamenkovski never graduated, the Center for Investigative Journalism of Serbia (CINS) reveals.

She lost her student status at that Faculty in 2020, for which they attach evidence in their text.

The former Minister of Education, Srgjan Verbiq, says that no one in the Government checks the CV and that when you become a minister, proof of education is not required.

"I brought because I thought that some documents should be brought, but no one asked me," he said.


In a statement for CINS, Minister Gjurgjevic Stamenkovski says that he received his diploma this very year at the Russian Institute for Diaspora and Integration. She did not provide evidence for this as, according to her, she submitted the documentation for registration in master's studies at the Russian State Social University.
