He lives in Belgrade. Political career Together with Vuk Drašković and Vojislav Šešelj, Jović founded the Serbian National Renewal (SNO) in 1989.

The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty.
