Dragoljub Mićunović (Serbian Cyrillic: Драгољуб Мићуновић Serbo-Croatian pronunciation: [ˈdrǎɡɔʎub miˈt͜ɕǔːnɔʋit͜ɕ]; born 14 June 1930) is a Serbian politician and philosopher. He was one of the founders of the modern Democratic Party (DS) in 1989, and its first President (1990-1994). He left DS in 1996 to form Democratic Centre. As a member of Democratic Opposition of Serbia, he was speaker of the Parliament of Serbia and Montenegro between 2000 and 2004. In 2004, he rejoined DS and has been an active member of the party and member of the Assembly of Serbia since. He was a candidate at the 2003 Serbian presidential election, winning 35.42% of the popular vote, but the election was canceled due to low turnout.
Mićunović's childhood was spent in Skopje where his father Mile worked as a civil servant. Following the annexation of parts of Yugoslavia by the Italian puppet Albanian Kingdom and Axis Kingdom of Bulgaria, he sought refuge in the Territory of the Military Commander in Serbia and fought occupying Axis forces with the Yugoslav Partisans.
After World War II, Mićunović was imprisoned for three years at Goli Otok island. He was arrested in March 1949 and was released in May 1952.
