Vladimir Cvijan (Serbian Cyrillic: Владимир Цвијан; 24 November 1976 – 5 January 2018) was a Serbian lawyer and politician. From 2004 until 2010, he served as the legal advisor and General Secretary to President of Serbia Boris Tadić. After joining then opposition Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), he became a member of the party presidency and one of the most prominent members. From 2012 until 2014, he served as the SNS member of the National Assembly. Cvijan was later an independent representative in the parliament and an active dissident for a short period until his unnoticed disappearance in 2014.
In 2014, Cvijan abruptly disappeared from public life. He died by drowning in the Danube on 5 January 2018 in Belgrade, Serbia, according to the Belgrade Higher Public Prosecutor Office in March 2021. Before that there was no single trace of his fate, except for some tabloid claims that he allegedly fled the country to the United States in 2017. His death was kept hidden from the public for three years, until it was revealed by the media in March 2021. The circumstances and reasons why his death was hidden from the public for so long are still unknown.
