Minja Peković is a Serbian actress born in Sarajevo and based in Belgrade. A graduate of the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad under the mentorship of Boris Isaković, she has built a career defined by emotional depth, precision, and authenticity.

She is a member of the National Theatre in Subotica, where she has portrayed a wide range of roles, from classical to contemporary repertoire. Minja is also the author and performer of the acclaimed monodrama Bravo za klovna, a deeply personal work inspired by her experience with breast cancer, which has received recognition and awards at several regional festivals.

Her performance as Milja Bušatlija in the play Kus Petlić earned her the prestigious Sterija Award, further establishing her as one of the most distinctive voices in Serbian theatre.

On screen, Minja has appeared in productions such as Tajkun and Polovni ljudi, and is set to reprise her role as Nevena Gavran, a crisis negotiator, in the second season of the television series Tunel.

Fluent in several languages and trained in music, dance, and stage movement, she approaches her craft with discipline and curiosity. Her work continues to explore themes of vulnerability, resilience, and the power of human connection through art.
