He was awarded as the best athlete of Montenegro in 1985.
He is Vice President of the Montenegrin Olympic Committee and president of the Montenegrin Olympians Club. After the 2009 parliamentary elections LP lost its parliamentary status and the old leadership of LP together with its leader Miodrag Živković resigned during the extraordinary conference of the Liberal Party on 20 June 2009.
Following this decision, Popović was elected as President of LP. At the 2012 parliamentary elections LP entered the coalition with governing parties DPS and Social Democratic Party, thus gaining one seat in the Parliament, which was occupied by Popović. Due to internal disagreements, Liberal Party froze its membership in the Coalition for European Montenegro, and is acting in the Parliament in the group with the minority parties (Croatian and Albanian minority representatives).
However, this change has been only formal, because the minority group is also an integral part of the ruling majority.
During the Fourth Regular Conference of the Liberal Party of Montenegro that was held on 14 September 2013, Popović has been re-elected as President of LP.
