Political career
Together with

Vojislav Šešelj , Jović founded the
Serbian National Renewal (SNO) in 1989.
[1] However, the trio soon found themselves at political crossroads and their party disintegrated into three pieces by 1990. Jović kept the SNO, Šešelj formed the
Serbian Chetnik Movement and then the
Serbian Radical Party
[2] while Drašković formed the
Serbian Renewal Movement .

The unpopularity of the Jović's nationalist agenda was most markedly shown in
Vojvodina , his home province.[

Vrbas in 1991.[
