Miodrag Živković

Miodrag "Miko" Živković (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Миодраг "Мико" Живковић) (born 20 September 1957 in Kotor, Montenegro, SFR Yugoslavia) is the former president of the Liberal Alliance of Montenegro until he was expelled after allegations of corruption in what is known as Trsteno Affair. Following the expulsion he founded Liberal Party of Montenegro.

Born to father Đorđije (teacher) and mother Vojislava (homemaker), Živković finished primary and secondary school in Kotor. In 1976 he enrolled at the University of Belgrade's Law School, but graduated at the Veljko Vlahović University in Titograd in 1981.

He finished the judicial exam in Belgrade in 1982. The same year he was accepted as a judge of Kotor Basic Court, a post which he held for 8 years, in parallel with State Court official for a short time, until he left the state institutions in 1990, disappointed in the state's ideological policies under Momir Bulatović, Milo Đukanović and Svetozar Marović of the Democratic Party of Socialists of Montenegro that favoured authoritarianism and Serbian nationalism.

The same year he entered business as a lawyer and actively worked in the liberal movement that formed itself as the Liberal Alliance of Montenegro in 1991, starting his political career as delegate of LSCG to the municipal board in Kotor. In 1994 he was elected President of LSCG's municipal board in Kotor. At the LSCG conference in January 1999 in Igalo, Živković was elected as the party's new leader, replacing Slavko Perović who handed in his resignation.
