Lompar was born in 1962 in
Belgrade which at that time was part of
Yugoslavia and is of paternal
Montenegrin Serb descent. He graduated from the
Faculty of Philology in Belgrade (Group for Yugoslav Literature and General Literature). He received his doctorate at the same faculty with a thesis on the historical, poetic and literary heritage of the 18th and 19th centuries in the late works of
Miloš Crnjanski before a committee consisting of academician
Nikola Milošević, prof. dr.
Jovan Deretić and prof. dr.
Novica Petković. At the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade, he is a professor of
Serbian literature of the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as
cultural history of the Serbs. He was the general director of Politika in the period 2005–2006. In 2018, the
Serbian Literary Guild published a book of texts about the painter
Petar Lubarda, titled
Knjiga o Lubardi. The selection of texts was made by Professor Milo Lompar.
Political involvement At the beginning of Serbia’s multi-party system in the 1990s, he was a member of the
Serbian Liberal Party, a splitter of the
Democratic Party. As a
non-partisan member of the
Dveri Political Council, which he joined in 2015 along with
Kosta Čavoški, Aleksandar Lipkovski, Vladimir Dimitrijević, Zoran Čvorović and other national conservative oriented intellectuals, he was part of the Dveri and
Democratic Party of Serbia political coalition that entered the
National Assembly in the
2016 parliamentary elections. He left the Dveri Political Council in January 2018. Lompar refused to speak at the ceremonial academy marking the 800th anniversary of the autocephaly of the
Serbian Orthodox Church, held on October 8, 2019, at the
Sava Center in Belgrade, because he opposed the decision of the
Holy Synod of Bishops and
Patriarch Irinej to award the Order of Saint Sava First Class, the highest honor of the Serbian Orthodox Church, to
Aleksandar Vučić. In April 2022, Lompar signed a petition calling for Serbia not to impose sanctions on Russia after it
invaded Ukraine. He supported the
2024–25 student-led protests and spoke at the Vidovdan protest, held in Belgrade on 28 June 2025.
Views and controversies In June 2025, he participated in the promotion of
Radovan Karadžić’s poetry collection Black Fairy Tale () at the Serbian Literary Guild, an appearance that drew public criticism due to Karadžić being a convicted war criminal. In a guest appearance on a Serbian right-wing YouTube podcast named Podcast At Brane's (), which aired on July 17, 2025, Lompar expressed views defending the actions of
Milan Nedić and his collaborationist
Government of National Salvation during the
Axis occupation of Yugoslavia, of which he was the sole prime minister throughout the war. He stated that Nedić was a collaborationist, but not a
quisling, and that he was "extorted" to collaborate with the occupier. In a later interview with
Radio Free Europe, Lompar further added that the opinions he stated were "established historical facts". == Selected works ==
