  ## Politician
  
  ### Municipal
  
  Erić was elected to the Ćuprija municipal assembly in the 2012 Serbian local elections at the head of an independent electoral list called Morava grad. The election did not produce a clear winner. The Morava grad movement won five seats (out of thirty-seven) and collectively joined the Progressive Party after the campaign. On 21 June 2013, after a period of instability, a new municipal coalition government was formed by the Progressive Party and the rival Democratic Party, with Erić as mayor.
  
  Erić led the Progressive Party list to majority victories in the 2016 and 2020 local elections, with the party in each instance winning thirty mandates. In August 2020, Erić and Serbian president Aleksandar Vučić announced a major renovation project for Ćuprija's general hospital. This was one of his last acts as mayor; he was required to stand down shortly thereafter as he could not hold a dual mandate as mayor and a parliamentarian. He was instead selected as president (i.e., speaker) of the municipal assembly in August 2020.
