Life

Parliamentarian
In the 2022 Serbian parliamentary election, the governing Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) reserved many of the lead positions on its Together We Can Do Everything electoral list for non-party cultural figures and academics. Perić-Ranković was given the seventh position on the list; this was tantamount to election, and she was indeed elected when the list won a plurality victory with 120 out of 250 mandates.

She is a member of the assembly committee on labour, social issues, social inclusion, and poverty reduction and a deputy member of the committee on education, science, technological development, and the information society.
