Velimir "Velja" Ilić (Serbian Cyrillic: Велимир "Веља" Илић, pronounced [ʋělimir ʋěːʎa ǐliːtɕ], born May 28, 1951 in Čačak) is Serbian politician, and the former Minister in the Governments of Serbia.
Velimir Ilić graduating from the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Technology (Department of Construction Materials), later he worked for various construction firms, and then became a private entrepreneur himself in 1986.
In 2005, he obtained his master's degree from the University of Kragujevac. His qualification was granted by an academic supervisory board entirely composed of officials of his own New Serbia party. The academics who granted his degree stated they acted purely as academics in this case and not as party officials under the leadership of their student.
Velimir Ilić was nominated for president in 2008 election by New Serbia with support of Democratic Party of Serbia, United Serbia and List for Sandžak. He finished third with 7.43% of votes.
Velja's first political steps were taken with Serbian Renewal Movement (SPO) in 1990. He quickly rose in the party hierarchy by forming a strong local branch in Čačak. His personable nature and imposing personality, quickly marked him out on the local political scene.
He was elected mayor of Čačak in 1996 by defeating the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) candidate. Shortly thereafter, in 1997 following the breakup of Zajedno coalition, he left the SPO, where he was the president of party's local branch, and founded his own New Serbia party.
