In 1984, as a Yugoslav communist-era judge, Stojković convicted six dissidents in a trial dubbed by Amnesty International as the "last Stalinist trial in Europe". Stojković is one of the people who founded the Democratic Party of Serbia, and the Serbian election committee employed him for several elections. He was married and had two children.
