Early life and career

Lukić was born in Loznica, in what was then the Socialist Republic of Serbia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. She holds a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from the University of Belgrade, where she studied in the Faculty of Defectology, and completed one further year of studies at the Belgrade Institute of Mental Health, where she focused on support and integration for people with developmental disabilities. For nine years, she worked at an elementary school in the village of Lešnica.

Politician

Lukić appeared in the twenty-fifth position on the Progressive Party's electoral list for the Loznica city assembly in the 2020 Serbian local elections and was elected when the list won a majority victory with forty-three out of fifty-nine seats.

Parliamentarian

Lukić was given the one hundredth position on the SNS's list in the 2022 Serbian parliamentary election and was elected when the list won a plurality victory with 120 out of 250 seats. The Progressives remained the dominant force in Serbia's government after the election, and Lukić supported the ministry in the assembly. In her first term, Lukić served on the labour committee and was a member of 130 different parliamentary friendship groups.

She was promoted to the fifty-eighth position on the SNS's list in the 2023 parliamentary election and was re-elected when the list won a majority victory with 129 seats. In her second term, she once again served on the labour committee and was a deputy member of the committee on human and minority rights and gender equality, the committee for the diaspora and Serbs in the region, and the committee on the rights of the child. She was a member of the friendship groups with Austria, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Caribbean countries (Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Haiti, Panama, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago), China, Comoros, Cuba, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Eswatini, Greece, Hungary, Japan, Mali, Nicaragua, Norway, Russia, Sao Tome and Principe, Spain, and Syria, as well as the friendship group with Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands states (Fiji, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Vanuatu).

She was also promoted to the sixth position on the SNS's list for the Loznica city assembly in the 2023 Serbian local elections, which took place concurrently with the parliamentary vote, and was re-elected when the list won thirty-four seats.
