Jovan Janić (Serbian: Јован Јанић; born 1952) is a medical doctor and politician in Serbia. He served in the Assembly of Vojvodina from 2012 to 2016 as a member of the Democratic Party (Demokratska stranka, DS).
Janić is a specialist doctor in general surgery from Kula, Vojvodina.[1] In January 2015, he was appointed as director of the Vrbas General Hospital.[2]
Janić was elected to the Vojvodina assembly in the 2012 Vojvodina provincial election for the Kula constituency seat. The DS won the election, and Janić served as a government supporter. He was also elected to the Kula municipal assembly in the concurrent 2012 Serbian local elections, although he resigned his mandate on 28 May 2012.[3] In the provincial assembly, he was a member of the committee on petitions and proposals and the committee on health, social policy, and labour.[4]
Vojvodina switched to a system of full proportional representation for the 2016 provincial election. Janić was given the forty-first position on the DS coalition's list and was not re-elected when the list won only ten mandates.[5]
