Luka Mičeta (born 1959 in Belgrade) is a Serbian journalist, publicist, and author. He began his journalism career in the early 1980s. Mičeta graduated from the First Belgrade Gymnasium and studied economics at the University of Belgrade.[1] He was a commentator and editor for the cult Belgrade newspaper Student and for NIN, a weekly magazine often described as the Serbian equivalent of Newsweek or Time.[2]
Mičeta was NIN’s exclusive interviewer for many years, conducting interviews with influential figures in Yugoslav political and cultural life.[3][4] He was the first Serbian journalist to interview a pope — Pope Benedict XVI.[5][6]
After the overthrow of Slobodan Milošević in 2000, Mičeta was appointed (2003) director general of the Serbian state news agency Tanjug.[2] He restored Tanjug's professional reputation, modernized it, and reintroduced it to the European Alliance of News Agencies (EANA). During his leadership, Tanjug also launched Serbia’s first webcast and video service.[7] In 2008, Mičeta resigned from his position as director general of the Tanjug news agency.[8][9]
Mičeta is often described as a biographer of Serbia’s "Golden Middle Ages", due to his numerous works about medieval Serbian rulers.[10][11][12] His books include:

In addition to his books, Mičeta has given interviews and been featured in various independent media, including Danas,[13][14][15] Politika,[16] Blic,[17] RTS,[18] N1,[19] and others.
Since 2024, he has been the author and host of the TV show Sinteza (In Spectrum with Luka Mičeta) on Newsmax Adria Balkans.[20] His work has been described as an effort to connect historical narratives with contemporary cultural and political issues.[21]
