Between September 2013 and January 2014, Pavlović was an advisor to the Minister of economy, position held by his close friend Saša Radulović[7] When Radulović resigned, disappointed by the obstruction of Aleksandar Vučić, Pavlović did the same. Together, they formed the Enough is Enough movement, advocating the changes in Serbian political culture and the breakup of political cartels in Serbia, which has eventually raised to the level of a political movement. On the Serbian parliamentary election, 2016, the movement won 6.02% of the vote and 16 seats in the National Assembly. Pavlović, who was second on the list, became an MP on June 2, 2016.[8]

Pet meseci u ministarstvu privrede, Dan Graf, Beograd), which is half-theoretical, half-biographycal account of the five months he spent as an advisor to the minister of economy, Saša Radulović. The book sold 1,000 copies within less than two months. Dan Graf added another 1,000 copies in mid-June 2016.
