division in the
1992 Serbian parliamentary election. The list won ten seats, and he was not given a mandate. (From 1992 to 2000, Serbia's electoral law stipulated that one-third of parliamentary mandates would be assigned to candidates from successful lists in numerical order, while the remaining two-thirds would be distributed amongst other candidates at the discretion of the sponsoring parties. It was common practice for the latter mandates to be awarded out of order. Grujić could have been given a mandate despite his low position on the list, but this did not occur.)
He was promoted to the sixteenth position on the SPS's list for Užice in the
1993 Serbian parliamentary election. The list won eleven seats in the division, and on this occasion he was assigned an "optional" mandate, taking his seat when the new assembly convened in January 1994. The Socialist Party of Serbia won a strong plurality victory in the 1993 election and governed afterward in a coalition with
New Democracy (ND). During his parliamentary term, Grujić was a member of the committee on transport and communications.

1997 Serbian parliamentary election.
Grujić later ran for mayor Krupanj in the
2004 Serbian local elections, the only regular local election cycle in which mayors were directly elected. He was defeated in the second round of voting.
