Stevović appeared in the eighty-eighth position on the Radical Party's list in the 2003 Serbian parliamentary election and was assigned a mandate after the list won eighty-two seats.Избори за народне посланике Народне скупштине одржани 28. децембра 2003. године – ИЗБОРНЕ ЛИСТЕ (2.

(From 2000 to 2011, all mandates in Serbian parliamentary elections were awarded to candidates on successful lists at the discretion of the sponsoring parties or coalitions, irrespective of numerical order.Serbia's Law on the Election of Representatives (2000) stipulated that parliamentary mandates would be awarded to electoral lists (Article 80) that crossed the electoral threshold (Article 81), that mandates would be given to candidates appearing on the relevant lists (Article 83), and that the submitters of the lists were responsible for selecting their parliamentary delegations within ten days of the final results being published (Article 84). See Law on the Election of Representatives, Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia, No. 35/2000, made available via LegislationOnline, , accessed 6 June 2021. Stevović's relatively low position on the list had no specific bearing on his changes of election.) He took his seat when the new parliament convened in January 2004.PRVA SEDNICA, 27.01.2004., Otvoreni Parlament, accessed 7 December 2004. In the assembly, he was a member of the committee for constitutional affairs, the committee for local self-government, the committee for culture and information, and the committee for labour, veterans, and social affairs.Детаљи о народном посланику: СТЕВОВИЋ, МИЛАН, , National Assembly of the Republic of Serbia, accessed 13 May 2026. Although the Radicals emerged from the 2003 elections as the largest party in the assembly, they fell well short of a majority and ultimately served in opposition for the term that followed.

Stevović was also elected as the mayor of Požega in the 2004 Serbian local elections, in which mayors were directly elected. He served in the role for the next four years.

For the 2007 Serbian parliamentary election, Stevović appeared in the 133rd position on the Radical Party's list.Избори за народне посланике Народне скупштине одржани 21. јануара и 8. фебрауара 2007. године – ИЗБОРНЕ ЛИСТЕ (4 Српска радикална странка - др Војислав Шешељ), , Republic Election Commission, Republic of Serbia, accessed 7 April 2024. The Radicals won eighty-one seats, and he was not given a mandate for a second term."Spisak poslanika za Skupštinu Srbije", Politika, 13 February 2007, accessed 24 December 2024. The direct election of mayors proved to be a short-lived experiment and was abolished with the 2008 Serbian local elections. Although the Radicals won a narrow victory in Požega in the 2008 local cycle, Stevović stood down as mayor after the election and was replaced by another member of his party.Lokalni Izbori 2008; Bureau of Statistics, Republic of Serbia; pp. 13, 64.Zorica Miladinović, "Aleksandar Grbović: Putin u zatvoru", Danas, 16 August 2016, accessed 4 January 2023.

Serbian Progressive Party The Radicals experienced a serious split in late 2008, with several prominent members joining the more moderate Serbian Progressive Party under the leadership of Tomislav Nikolić and Aleksandar Vučić. Stevović was among those who joined the Progressives.

Serbia's electoral laws were reformed in 2011, such that all mandates in election held under proportional representation were given to candidates on successful lists in numerical order. Stevović appeared in the 122nd position on the Progressive Party's Let's Get Serbia Moving list for the 2012 Serbian parliamentary election and was not elected when the list won seventy-three seats.Избори за народне посланике Народне скупштине, 6. мај 2012. године – ИЗБОРНЕ ЛИСТЕ (5 POKRENIMO SRBIJU - TOMISLAV NIKOLIĆ), , Republic Election Commission, Republic of Serbia, accessed 7 April 2024.

The Progressives won the 2012 parliamentary election and subsequently formed a coalition government with the Socialist Party of Serbia (SPS) and other parties. In October 2012, Stevović was appointed as Director of the Directorate for the Execution of Criminal Sanctions within the ministry of justice and public administration.др Милан Стевовић, , Ministry of Justice, Government of Serbia, accessed 13 May 2026.
