Early life and private career

She worked at Srbijagas from 2009 to 2013, initially as an intern and later as a financial associate in the office of the general manager. She was employed by South Stream in Novi Sad from 2013 to 2015 before returning to work at Srbijagas, where she has been active with the Turkish Stream project as head of the department in the financial service.[1]

Politician

Member of the Assembly of Vojvodina

Đanković appeared in the sixth position on the Socialist Party's electoral list in the 2016 Vojvodina provincial election and was elected when the list won twelve mandates.[2] The Socialists participated in a coalition government led by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) after the election, and she supported the administration in the assembly. By convention, all major parties in the provincial legislature are allowed to nominate one deputy speaker; Đanković was the SPS's nominee and was confirmed to the position on 2 June 2016.[3] In her first term, she was also president of the committee for economy.[4]

She was promoted to the third position on the SPS list in the 2020 provincial election and was re-elected when the list won thirteen mandates.[5] She was chosen afterward for a second term as assembly vice-president and is a member of the committee on budget and finance, the committee on European integration and interregional cooperation, and the committee on co-operation with committees of the national assembly in exercising the competences of the province.[6]

Politics at the republic level

Đanković received the 120th position on the SPS's list in the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election, which took place concurrently with the provincial election.[7] The list won thirty-two seats, and she was not elected.

For the 2022 parliamentary election, she was promoted to the fifth position on the party's list.[8] This was tantamount to election, and she was indeed elected when the list won thirty-one seats. When the assembly convened, she was appointed as a member of the culture and information committee, a deputy member of the foreign affairs committee, and a deputy member of the committee on administrative, budgetary, mandate, and immunity issues.[9]

Đanković could not serve a dual mandate in the national and provincial assemblies, and she resigned her seat in the national assembly on 2 September 2022.[10]
