Politician
editProvincial politics
editMatejin was first elected to the Vojvodina assembly in the 2012 provincial election, winning Zrenjanin's first constituency seat. This election was won by the Democratic Party and its allies, and the Progressives served in opposition. Matejin was the leader of the Progressive Party's assembly group and was a member of the committee on health, social policy, and labour.[2]
Vojvodina switched to a system of full proportional representation for the 2016 provincial election. Matejin was awarded the ninth position on the Progressive Party's electoral list[3] and was re-elected when the list won a majority victory with sixty-three out of 120 mandates. There were rumours that he would be appointed to a position in the provincial executive, but this did not occur.[4] He chaired the assembly's health committee and was not a candidate for re-election in 2020.
Municipal politics
editMatejin received the (largely ceremonial) final position on the Progressive Party's list for the Zrenjanin city assembly in the 2012 Serbian local elections.[5] Election from this position was a mathematical impossibility, and indeed he was not elected when the list won twenty-four out of sixty-seven mandates.[6]
He received the second position on the Progressive list in the 2016 local elections[7] and was elected to the city assembly when the list won a majority victory with thirty-five mandates.[8] He did not seek re-election in 2020.
