Đurađ Jakšić (Serbian: Ђурађ Јакшић; born 1977) is a Serbian history professor and politician.[1] He ran for mayor of Novi Sad in the 2012 mayoral elections. Jakšić is the Serbian Radical Party president of the city council of Novi Sad.[2]
From sources inside the Serbian Radical Party, it is said that if the Serbian Radical Party does not return into parliament, Jakšić will no longer be a member of the party and will transfer to the Serbian Progressive Party of Aleksandar Vučić.
In December 2012, he arose controversy by forming a petition requesting a street in Novi Sad be named after Slobodan Milošević.[3] He previously arose controversy in March 2007 when he suggested that Veljko Milanković and Mladen Bratić get streets named after them in Novi Sad.[4]
