Biography
István Pásztor was born in Novi Kneževac, SAP Vojvodina on 20 August 1956. He graduated from the University of Novi Sad Faculty of Law. In his later years, Pásztor was the chairman of the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians and president of the Assembly of Vojvodina. He was once a leader of the Hungarian Coalition, which also included two other ethnic Hungarian political parties in Serbia.
Pásztor was the candidate of the Hungarian Coalition in the 2008 Serbian presidential election. He won 2.26% of the vote in the first round, and supported Boris Tadić in the second round.
Pásztor died on 30 October 2023, at the age of 67.[1] His death received condolences from politicians in Serbia and Hungary, and his funeral on November 4 was attended by President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić, President of Republika Srpska Milorad Dodik and President of Hungary Viktor Orbán.[2][3]
