Jovo Ostojić (; 1952 – 29 June 2017) was a politician and paramilitary leader in Serbia. He served two terms in the National Assembly of Serbia as a member of the far-right Serbian Radical Party. Early life and career Ostojić was born in Apatin, Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, in what was then the People's Republic of Serbia in the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia. He was a construction technician in private life and lived in the village of Prigrevica (near Apatin). Paramilitary leader Radical Party leader Vojislav Šešelj has said that Ostojić was involved in the formation, training, and oversight of "volunteer squads" of Serb paramilitaries in the early period of the 1991–95 war in Croatia, using his base in Prigrevica as a training centre. He saw action in Croatia during the conflict. Šešelj appointed him as a Chetnik voivode on 13 May 1993. Politician During the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s Ostojić was a Radical Party candidate in the May 1992 Yugoslavian parliamentary election, running in the single-member division of Sombor. He was defeated by Milorad Vlahović of the Socialist Party of Serbia. He received the seventh position on the Radical Party's electoral list for Novi Sad in the 1992 Serbian parliamentary election. The party won ten mandates in the division, and Ostojić was subsequently included in its assembly delegation. (From 1992 to 2000, Serbia's electoral law stipulated that one-third of parliamentary mandates would be assigned to candidates from successful lists in numerical order, while the remaining two-thirds would be distributed amongst other candidates on the lists by the sponsoring parties. It was common practice for the latter mandates to be awarded out of numerical order. Ostojić's position on the list did not give him the automatic right to a mandate, but he was nonetheless included in the party's delegation and took his seat when parliament met in early 1993.) The governing Socialist Party of Serbia won the largest number of seats in this election, but with 101 mandates out of 250 fell short of a majority; the Radicals finished in second place with seventy-three seats. Although the Radicals were technically an opposition party in the sitting of the assembly that followed, they initially worked with the Socialists in an informal coalition. By late 1993, however, the two parties had turned against each other and new elections were called. Ostojić was promoted to the fourth position on the Radical
