Migo Stijepović
Montenegrin politician
Slavoljub "Migo" Stijepović (Serbian Cyrillic: Славољуб "Миго" Стијеповић; born 2 May 1959 in Titograd, SFR Yugoslavia, now Podgorica, Montenegro) is a Montenegrin politician who was the Minister of Science and Education in Government of Montenegro from 2010 until 2014 and previously a minister without portfolio, between 2008 and 2010. Stijepović was also a Mayor of Podgorica, from 2014 until 2018, when he was replaced by Ivan Vuković. Graduated in Laws by the University of Montenegro Faculty of Law, until 1991 he worked in the economy, when he joined the newly formed Democratic Party of Socialists, which has been in power in Montenegro ever since. He is currently active as political advisor of the President of Montenegro, Milo Đukanović.[1][2]
Stijepović is also known for numerous gaffes and slips during his public appearances. Quoting but also caricaturing Stijepović's statements on social media began intensively after an interview during the 2014 campaign for the mayor of Podgorica, in which he, then Minister of Education, said that the city of Podgorica would develop as London and "Paris Saint-Germain", and later addressing the mayor of Paris, as the "President of Paris".[3][4]
