Politician

Early years in municipal politics (2012–16)

Radović was given the sixth position on the SPS's electoral list for the Priboj municipal assembly in the 2012 Serbian local elections. The list won five seats; she was not immediately elected but received a mandate on 19 July 2012 as the replacement for another party member. She served for the term that followed and was for a time the SPS's assembly leader.

She was promoted to the third position on the SPS list in the 2016 local elections and was re-elected when the list won four seats. She resigned her mandate on 15 June 2016.

Parliamentarian (2020–present)

Radović received the fifteenth position on the Socialist Party's list in the 2020 Serbian parliamentary election and was elected when the list won thirty-two seats. The Socialists continued their participation in Serbia's coalition government after the election, and Radović supported the administration in the assembly.

In her first assembly term, Radović was a member of the agriculture committee and a deputy member of the committee on constitutional and legal issues, the defence and internal affairs committee, the foreign affairs committee, the committee on human and minority rights and gender equality, the economy committee, the European integration committee, the administrative committee, and the European Union–Serbia stabilisation and association committee. She was also the head of Serbia's parliamentary friendship group with Trinidad and Tobago and a member of the friendship groups with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, China, Egypt, Ireland, Japan, Russia, Slovakia, Tunisia, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America.

She was promoted to the fourth position on the SPS's list for the 2022 parliamentary election. This was tantamount to election, and she was indeed re-elected when the list won thirty-one seats. In the term that followed, she was a member of the agriculture committee and the stabilization and association committee and a deputy member of the defence committee, the human rights committee, the European integration committee, and the judiciary committee. She was again the leader of Serbia's parliamentary friendship group with Trinidad and Tobago and a member of the friendship groups with Australia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, the Caribbean countries, China, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Denmark, Egypt, Eswatini, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, Liechtenstein, New Zealand and the Pacific Island countries, Slovakia, Spain, Suriname, Sweden, and Venezuela.

Radović appeared in the thirteenth position on the SPS's list in the 2023 parliamentary election and was elected to a third term when the list won eighteen seats. She is now a member of the agriculture committee and a deputy member of the committee on Kosovo and Metohija, the environmental protection committee, and the European integration committee.

She was also re-elected to the Priboj municipal assembly in the 2023 Serbian local elections, which were held concurrently with the parliamentary election. The Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) ran a combined list with the SPS in Priboj; Radović appeared in the eighth position and was elected when the list won a majority victory with twenty-three out of forty-one seats.

In March 2024, Radović was one of five Serbian parliamentarians who served as international observers for the 2024 Russian presidential election.
