Belgrade (19/05 – 63.64) At 23 years old, sexy blonde Maja Pavlovic is already a celebrity not only in Serbia, where she was named the sexiest politician, but also abroad, after British tabloids have given generous, liberally sprinkled with photos, pages write their own story.
She’s a Serbian heart doctor who appears to have set a few pulses racing after winning a medal in a bikini competition.
Trainee cardiologist Maja Pavlovic, 23, reportedly won the medal in the European leg of the Women’s Bikini Fitness Contest in Spain.
Not content however with being a medical student and a beauty contestant, Ms Pavlovic is also a politician for the ruling Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS).
She was elected as a councillor in her home city of Cacak in southern Serbia, and says she hopes to develop her political career alongside her work in medicine.
Ms Pavlovic is currently in her fifth and final year of medical school in the central Serbian town of Kragujevac and is now practising on patients as part of her final exams.

Maja Pavlovic said: ‘I know it may seem strange that someone from the other side of the political spectrum can be so impressed but Margaret Thatcher was a force of nature.
‘Anybody that knows anything about her life cannot fail to be impressed by a remarkable woman she was, as an example to everyone.
‘What she achieved over her life can only help to inspire others and it was my inspiration to go into politics and to make a success of myself doing what makes me happy.’
Ms Pavlovic, who recently won a meal in the European leg of the Women’s Bikini Fitness Contest, said that in Serbia, just as it was in the Britain where Thatcher powered her way to the top, it is very male dominated.
She said: ‘I hope like her to get to the top as well. Whether that’s as a politician, a doctor or a model. Second place is not interesting.’
Ms Pavlovic, who is often seen posing in her bikini and at modelling or body fitness shoots, in between working as a doctor and attending political engagements, has caused quite a stir in her homeland.
According to the daily tabloid newspaper Telegraf, ‘people want to get sick on purpose just to get healed by her’, even though she is only a junior doctor.
Ms Pavlovic is in the fifth and final year of medical school in the town of Kragujevac and practises on patients as part of her final exams.
She said: ‘I love medicine and I want to achieve great results there. But I also love politics. I want to stay involved in that and of course through my beauty contest involvement, I hope that I will get to travel and see interesting places.
