Nataša Mićić (Serbian Cyrillic:Наташа Мићић;née Jovanović; born 2 November 1965) is a Serbian lawyer and politician who served as thepresident of the National Assembly of Serbia from 2001 to 2004 and as theacting president of Serbia from 2002 to 2004.

Mićić graduated from theUniversity of Belgrade'sLaw School and found employment as a clerk at the Užice Municipal Court during the early 1990s. She left the post in 1998 to pursue a career as a lawyer. Even though she was almost 33 at the time, she ended up as one of the founders of theOtpor! student movement, acting as their spokesperson and legal counsel.

Mićić's law and political careers frequently overlapped. She became aGSS member in 1996 while still employed atUžice court. By the timeSlobodan Milošević wasoverthrown in the autumn of 2000, Mićić was a high-ranking GSS official (within a largeDOS coalition at the time). In late December 2000, DOS overwhelmingly won the parliamentary elections and GSS members were allocated their share of political posts. Nataša Mićić became theparliamentary vice-president in January 2001 – deputy toDragan Maršićanin fromDemocratic Party of Serbia (DSS).

AfterDragan Maršićanin resigned his post on 6 December 2001 as a result of the growing conflict betweenDSS MPs and the remainingDOS MPs, Mićić immediately replaced him as the president of National Assembly and the chairman of its Constitutional Committee.^[1]

AsMilan Milutinović's mandate as thePresident of Serbia expired, and two presidential elections were voided because turnout fell short of required 50%, she became the actingPresident of Serbia on 30 December 2002, with a constitutional obligation to call another election within 60 days of taking over the acting post. She did not do so in the required period, leading to a chorus of criticism.

Following the assassination ofZoran Đinđić on 12 March 2003, astate of emergency was immediately declared under her command.

By May of the same year, the situation had calmed and the state of emergency was lifted. For Mićić, however, the fall of 2003 would become a crucial period in her political career.

Firstly, on 17 September 2003, over six months after the required constitutional period expired, she finally announced a 16 November date for a third attempt at electing a President for Serbia.^[2] She then experienced continuous parliamentary pressure because of the voting scandal involving DOS MPNeda Arnerić.

On 16 October 2003 after the ruling DOS coalition was left without a parliamentary majority for the first time in almost three years, a motion for a no-confidence vote proceeding started for the parliamentary president Nataša Mićić.^[3] The parliamentary discussion on this issue finished on 29 October 2003, but the actual non-confidence vote was postponed for a fortnight.

In the end, it proved unnecessary, as on 13 November 2003, just three days before the presidential elections that would later be void again because of low turnout, Mićić dissolved parliament and called for parliamentary elections on 28 December 2003.

TheGSS entered the new parliamentary elections on theDemocratic Party (DS) ballot, and was given 2 seats out of the total 31 that theDS list got.

Nataša Mićić became one of GSS MPs, whileGoran Svilanović got the other seat. In December 2004, she was elected to be GSS president. After the merger of theCivic Alliance of Serbia into theLiberal Democratic Party in 2007, she became the vice-president of theLiberal Democratic Party.

Nataša Mićić is married to Miodrag Mićić, member ofGSS municipal board inUžice.

In late March 2006, her husband was in the news for phoning and reportedly verbally threatening journalist Nenad Kovačević from theDanas daily. Kovačević revealed Miodrag Mićić called him up on 30 March 2006, reportedly angry about Kovačević's piece in the previous day's issue ofDanas that references the fact that sixSerbian Assembly Members of Parliament fromUžice declared their personal monthly income to be overRSD1.2 million (~€15,000). Nobody was mentioned by name but Miodrag Mićić apparently thought it obvious the article alludes to him and his wife, and allegedly decided to menace Kovačević over the phone by reportedly proclaiming: "If anything happens to my home, my wife or my child, the same will happen to your family and your kids; you singled out my home and my family by writing this article".^[4]

While admitting to calling up Kovačević and "reacting hastily after getting into an argument [with the journalist]", Miodrag Mićić denied using the exact words ascribed to him.^[4]
