'''Miroslav Mišković''' ([[Serbian language|Serbian]] [[Cyrillic]]: '''Мирослав Мишковић''') (born [[July 5]], [[1945]] in [[Kruševac]], [[Serbia]]) is a [[Serbia]]n [[businessman]], the owner of the [[Delta Holding]] company. He is considered to be the richest person in Serbia, with his wealth estimated at approximately [[Dollar|$]]1.5 billion as of [[2006]], according to the list of 100 wealthiest persons of the post-communist countries made by [[Poland|Polish]] magazine [[Wprost]].[http://najbogatsieuropejczycy.wprost.pl] Mišković holds 38th place of this list, but is on the second place among the [[tycoon]]s outside former [[Soviet Union]], behind [[Jan Kulczyk]] from [[Poland]].

Mišković was born in [[Kruševac]], where he had graduated, before moving to [[Belgrade]], where he gained his faculty diploma in [[economy]] in [[1971]]. Afterwards, he has worked in [[Jugobanka]] and [[Trajal]] in Kruševac until [[1977]], when he moved to [[Župa Chemical Industries]], where he became financial director in [[1984]] and the [[Chief executive officer|chief executive]] of the company in [[1987]], and he had remained on this position until [[1990]], when he became a vicepresident of the Serbian government, but has remained on this position for only six months. Meanwhile, Mišković has founded Delta M company (Delta M being a sort of abbreviation of his initials - ''double M''), a company that became very successful in the following years, during [[Yugoslav wars]] and under the regime of [[Slobodan Milošević]]. Soon afterwards, he has founded Delta Bank (sold to [[Banca Intesa]] in [[2004]]), that was to become the first part of Mišković's extremely successful [[Delta Holding]] corporation that works in agribusiness, retail, distribution, financial brokerage, real estate development and insurance.

Mišković's connection to [[Slobodan Milošević]] has never been obvious, except for the fact that he was a vice-president of the Government. After the [[5th October Overthrow|overthrow of Milošević's regime]], Mišković was linked to [[Dušan Mihajlović]], the minister of police at the time and the other leaders of [[Democratic Opposition of Serbia]]. Mišković is today considered to be an important political figure with high influence on the leading politicians in Serbia.

Mišković was kidnapped [[April 9]], [[2001]], but was released the next day, as the ransom money (estimated at about 7,000,000 [[German mark]]s at the time) was paid 18 hours later. After the assassination of the Serbian prime minister [[Zoran Đinđić]] [[March 12]], [[2003]], the abduction of Mišković was attributed to the same group that has been found responsible for the death of the prime minister, which has made other connections of the two crimes seem possible.
