Politician

Filipović was a founding member of the Serbian Renewal Movement in 1990. The party contested the 1992 Serbian parliamentary election as part of the Democratic Movement of Serbia coalition, and Filipović appeared in the sixth position on the coalition's electoral list in the Smederevo division. The list won five seats, and he was included in his party's delegation when the assembly convened in early 1993. The Socialist Party of Serbia won the election, and the SPO served in opposition.
Filipović was promoted to the third position on the DEPOS list for Smederevo in the 1993 Serbian parliamentary election; the list again won five mandates, and he was given a mandate for a second term. The Socialists again won the election, and the SPO continued to serve in opposition. In 1994, Filipović complained about police inaction in the face of fuel and cigarette smuggling by organized crime networks. He was not a candidate in the 1997 Serbian election.
In October 1997, Filipović was expelled from the SPO under extremely acrimonious circumstances. In leaving the party's assembly, he accused his former colleagues of being "communists." His rivals, in turn, taunted him as having been a spy for the Democratic Party.
He later became reconciled to the SPO at least on a local level after the fall of Slobodan Milošević's administration and was the party's candidate for mayor of Jagodina in the 2004 Serbian local elections. He was defeated in the first round of voting.
