Andrija Mandić (Serbian Cyrillic: Андрија Мандић) (born January 19, 1965 in Šavnik, Montenegro, Yugoslavia) is a Montenegrin politician. He is the President of the major ethnic Serb political party in Montenegro, the New Serb Democracy (NSD / NOVA). He is the Head of the Democratic Front parliamentary club in the Parliament of Montenegro.
Andrija Mandic was born in 1965 in Šavnik, Socialist Republic of Montenegro, Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He graduated at the Metallurgic-Technical Faculty at the Veljko Vlahović University in Titograd, the little socialist republic's capital city.
He was the owner of a night bar in Podgorica by the name of "The Scene" (Сцена), which he opened after he retired from the short-lived political life with the Reformist Communists. A frequent visitor of the bar was Milo Djukanovic, which aroused suspicion on their personal relationship and Mandic's attitude towards the ruling Democratic Party of Socialists of Montenegro (to which the Communist party changed its name) and the positions in private life he was achieving ever since Djukanovic was appointed the first Prime Minister, culminating with the allegation of Belgrade's "The Tabloid" in 2003 that Mandic is actually a godfather of Djukanovic. The tabloid also accused Mandic that he was, during the troublesome 1990s with all the sanctions and isolation, in the beginning one of the many people who were pushed into petty smuggling and murky deals for survival.
