Dragan Veselinov (Serbian Cyrillic: Драган Веселинов, born 3 May 1950[1]) is a Serbian politician and professor at the Faculty of Political Sciences of the University of Belgrade. As the president of the People's Peasant Party (founded in 1990), he was among few Serbians to go openly against the Serbian nationalist policies of Slobodan Milošević and his allies in the early 1990s.[2] He previously served as Minister of Agriculture in the Serbian government. He served under two prime ministers, Zoran Đinđić and Zoran Živković, from 2001 until 2003, before resigning under public pressure when his chauffeur-driven government-issued vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian on a sidewalk in Belgrade.
