Đorđe Simić (28 February 1843, Belgrade – 11 October 1921, Zemun), was a Serbian politician and diplomat. He was twice Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Serbia.

Biography

He was the son of Stojan Simić and the nephew of Aleksa Simić, both Serbian politicians. Upon graduation in Belgrade, studied the state sciencies in Berlin, Heidelberg and Paris.

Hired as a clerk at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and was head of its political department from 1867 to 1882. From 1882 to 1884 was Consul-General in Sofia, from 1887 to 1890 Ambassador in St. Petersburg and from 1890 to 1894 Ambassador in Vienna.

Đorđe Simić was the Prime Minister for the first time from 12 January to 21 March 1894. The government quickly came to a crisis and fall because of the political orientation of the King Aleksandar I, who had at one time been Simić's nephew-in-law, to fight the People's Radical Party, which Simic and several other ministers did not accepted.

Simić was again Ambassador in Vienna from 1894 to 1896. He was the Prime Minister for the second time (and also Minister of Foreign Affairs) from 17 December 1896 to 11 October 1897. The government was composed of neutral people and radicals. In foreign policy has achieved half the results in Macedonia: Serbia won the right to raise schools, and a Serbian bishop was temporarily installed in Skopje. In internal politics, the government improved financial state and armaments of the Army because of the Greco-Turkish War of 1897.

Then he was deputy in Rome in 1900, Senator and President of the Council of State in 1901, Ambassador in Constantinople from 1903 to 1906, and representative in Vienna, from 1906 to 1912.

Simić was one of the founders of Red Cross in Serbia and its longtime president.

Simic was a man of noble manners and diplomat, but weak politician and soft character without his own initiative, the man who had no political weight, but arrived at the high court's position as a man and a compromise candidate (Slobodan Jovanović).

Simic was married, in 1867, to Princess Jelena of Serbia (18 October 1846-26 July 1867), daughter of Alexander, Prince of Serbia.
