[edit] Early life
Slavko Perović was born and raised in Cetinje, Montenegro. He graduated from Veljko Vlahović University's Faculty of Law in 1978 in Titograd. He passed the court attorney exam in Belgrade, Serbia a year later, and earned his Master's Degree at the International University Centre in Dubrovnik, Croatia. As a student, he was active in a number of social projects, including Mi youth magazine, culture magazine Ars, and Radio Cetinje.
[edit] Liberal Alliance of Montenegro
In 1990, he was one of the founders of Liberal Alliance of Montenegro (LSCG), a party formed in Cetinje with goals of promoting liberalism and the idea of Montenegrin independence. Originally he was the Executive Committee president, but in 1991, he was elected for the party's President. Perović was also a LSCG representative in Parliament of Montenegro since 1990.
In 1996, Perović initiated the creation of the "Narodna Sloga"("Popular Unity") coalition, in order to reconcile Montenegrins and Serbs in Montenegro, and return public's attention to everyday problems Montenegro was facing. Because of his opposition political activity, in 1998 he was fired from the position of "Literary Hall of Cetinje" by the Montenegrin Government. The official reason for the action was a communist author's book that Perović did not allow to be printed in Cetinje. During the Yugoslav Wars, Perović and his party were the only political subject in Montenegro opposing the armed conflict, organising multiple anti-war rallies.
