He was born in 1983 in Titovo Užice. Graduated from Belgrade's Sixth Gymnasium and the University of Belgrade Faculty of Law, where he is currently a research assistant in comparative legal tradition.[4]
While he was an assistant at the Faculty of Law, Selaković took a bottle of water from a Croatian manufacturer from the student at the lecture and threw it in the garbage can, saying that he was doing it because it was not domestic water. Selaković said that he only wanted to point out to the students the necessity of buying domestic products.[5]
During his studies, he won the oratory competition at the Faculty of Law three times. He was a member of the team at the international competition in the field of international public law "Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition", and in 2007 he received the first prize of the Alan Watson Foundation for the project "Dušan's Code and Legal Transcripts".[6]

He has been a member since 2003, and since 2005 he has been the secretary of the Club of Lovers of Ancient and Roman Law at the Faculty of Law "Forum Romanum".[6]
Political career
According to some sources, Selaković joined the Serbian Radical Party in 2001 out of revolt against the ruling DOS coalition after his father, a member of the Socialist Party of Serbia was fired from his job, because he was a member of that party.[6]
He has been a member of the Serbian Progressive Party since 2008, a member of the party's Executive Board and president of the party's Legal Council.
