Šućurović was a prominent member of Serbia's
Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) for many years, appearing as a candidate on its
electoral lists in the
2007,
2008,
2012, and
2014 Serbian parliamentary elections[2] and the
2008 Vojvodina provincial election,[3] although he did not receive a mandate on any of these occasions. He was an assistant to Novi Bečej mayor
Milivoj Vrebalov following the
2008 Serbian local elections and was himself chosen as mayor after the
2012 elections with the support of twenty out of thirty-one members in the local assembly.[4] In this capacity, he supported construction of a docking facility to improve tourism opportunities in the community.[5][6]
League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina
Šućurović left the LDP in September 2015 following a period of tension with the party establishment and joined the LSV on the same day.[7] In April 2016, he refuted
Vojvodina presidentBojan Pajtić's suggestion that his municipal administration was obstructing the restoration of Heterlend Castle.[8] His term as mayor came to an end in June of the same year when the
Serbian Progressive Party formed a new local administration.[9]
The LSV contested the
2016 Serbian parliamentary election in alliance with the LDP and the
Social Democratic Party (SDS). Šućurović received the 235th position out of 250 on their combined electoral list; this was too low a position for election to be a realistic prospect.[10]
Šućurović also received the thirteenth position on the LSV's list in the concurrent
2016 Vojvodina provincial election and was not initially elected when the party won nine mandates. He was, however, awarded a mandate on 24 November 2016 as a replacement for
Đorđe Stojšić, who had resigned.[11] The election was won by the Progressive Party and its allies, and Šućurović serves with the
opposition. He is currently a member of the committee on budget and finance, and the committee on petitions and motions.[12]
