Mirković received the fourth position on the Progressive Party's list in the 2016 Voždovac municipal election and was elected to a second term when the list won twenty-six mandates. Although the Progressive list lost its majority, it remained the dominant force in the municipality's coalition government, and Mirković was appointed to a new term as speaker in June 2016. He was also re-elected to the Belgrade city assembly in the 2018 city election; he received the thirty-second position on the Progressive list and was returned when the list won a majority victory with sixty-four out of 110 seats.
