Nenad Kecmanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Ненад Кецмановић; born 9 September 1947) is a Bosnian Serb political scientist, sociologist, political analyst, publicist and former politician who served as the Serb member of the Presidency of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina from June to July 1992. Resigning just 19 days after taking office, he is the shortest serving Presidency member overall.

Kecmanović was rector of the University of Sarajevo from 1988 until 1991. He has resided in Belgrade, Serbia since 1992.

Early life and academic career

Kecmanović was born in Sarajevo, PR Bosnia and Herzegovina, FPR Yugoslavia on 9 September 1947. He graduated in sociology in 1971 as a student of the generation, and in political science in 1973, from the University of Sarajevo, after which he worked as an assistant at the Faculty of Political Science. He received his doctorate in "Convergence of Political Systems" in 1975. In 1976, Kecmanović became an assistant professor at the same Faculty, an associate professor in 1979, becoming a full professor in 1984. Until the Bosnian War and the breakup of Yugoslavia, he was a professor of political science and dean of the Faculty of Political Science in Sarajevo. He was rector of the University of Sarajevo from 1988 until 1991. In 1991, he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Michigan.^[1]

In Belgrade, Serbia, Kecmanović worked as a professor and head of the Department of Political Science at the Faculty of Political Sciences of the University of Belgrade.^[2]

Kecmanović is currently active as a full professor at the University of East Sarajevo. He was also dean of the University of Banja Luka, where he currently works as an associate professor. He has been a member of the Senate of Republika Srpska since September 1996. He was elected an expert of the United Nations Center for Peace and Development in Paris in 1998, and in 2006 he became a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow.^[3]

Political career

Following the introduction of the multi-party system in Yugoslavia in 1990, Kecmanović founded a Bosnian branch of Ante Marković's centre-left Union of Reform Forces party. He was president of the party's Bosnian branch and its leader in the 1990 general election.

In 1990, at the last Yugoslav Presidency elections, Kecmanović was elected member of the Presidency of Yugoslavia, but was immediately removed from that office through the State Security Service, under the pretext of "insufficient security culture".

When Biljana Plavšić and Nikola Koljević, both members of the Serb Democratic Party, resigned their post as Serb members of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina in April 1992, Kecmanović was elected new member of the Presidency on 17 June 1992, as the Serb delegate with the most votes in the 1990 election after Plavšić and Koljević, serving with Mirko Pejanović of the Social Democratic Party (SDP BiH). However, on 6 July 1992, Kecmanović resigned his post as Serb member of the Presidency, and was succeeded by SDP BiH member Tatjana Ljujić-Mijatović.^[4]
