Marko Blagojevic is the Director of the Serbian Government’s Public Investment Management Office. After the catastrophic 2014 floods, he joined the government as Director of the newly established Office for FloodAffected Areas Relief and Reconstruction. In that role, he oversaw the transition of the office’s mandate from post-flood recovery and reconstruction to disaster risk management. As Director of the Public Investment Management Office—the successor agency to the Office for FloodAffected Areas Relief and Reconstruction—he is now involved in establishing Serbia’s disaster risk management system. His tasks include implementation or oversight of a variety of infrastructure projects in health, education, agriculture, energy, and local infrastructure sectors. In 1997, Blagojevic founded the Center for Free Elections and Democracy (CeSID), the first Serbian watchdog organization, which specializes in issues of transparency, responsiveness, and accountability. It is now a leading regional polling organization that specializes in public affairs research and analysis. As CeSID’s Director, he worked closely with international clients, including the Council of Europe, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), USAID, UN agencies, and the World Bank. Blagojevic has also worked as an international consultant for OSCE, National Democratic Institute, International Republican Institute, Soros Foundation, and Freedom House, on projects in the Balkans and elsewhere.
