[2][3][4] A member and current vice-president of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS), Šapić had previously served as president of the New Belgrade municipality from 2012 to 2022.

[5][6] Šapić was previously a member of the Democratic Party (DS) until 2014, and he later led the Serbian Patriotic Alliance until the merger into SNS which occurred in May 2021.

At the very start of his national team career, Yugoslavia won two European U19 championships – 1995 in Esslingen and 1996 in Istanbul – and Šapić was the best player and top scorer in both.

[15] In the 2020 parliamentary election, SPAS won 3.83% of the votes and 11 seats in the National Assembly, becoming part of the ruling coalition led by the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).

He pledged to work for the interests of all people of Belgrade and to continue the projects of urban development, public transportation, environmental protection and social welfare.

[19] In 2021, millions of euros intended for lectures on preventing peer and digital violence, the first year post the corona virus pandemic outbreak, were designated by the Ministry of Family Care and Demography.

BIRN's investigation uncovers that these phantom entities, financially supported by Šapić's associates over the years, diverted the allocated funds.

Instead of utilising the money for lectures in schools across 17 cities in Serbia, the funds were redirected to numerous private agencies owned by their relatives, friends, neighbours, and acquaintances.

According to the recordings, Milanović proposed that Kentkart agree to terminate its existing contract from 2021 and in return, he would arrange a new public procurement for them.

[21][22][23][24] Šapić was criticised in September 2024 for allegedly rehabilitating the nationalist ideology by proposing a plan to create a monument to Draža Mihailović, the leader of Chetniks during World War II who collaborated with the Axis powers, in Belgrade; the Socialist Party of Serbia and fellow SNS ministers criticised this move.

Be Humane in a very short time became one of the most relevant and most trusted humanitarian foundations in the region and its aim is to help to cure and ensuring needed therapy for children at the first place.

With those awards, many institutions in Serbia showed respect and gratitude to him for everything he did in the field of humanitarian work as an active sportsman and he continued doing, even in a more intense and responsible way, after he is retired from water polo.

Šapić has appeared in the 2004 Serbian film When I Grow Up, I'll Be a Kangaroo, portraying the role of a local neighbourhood heavy named Gangula.
