Komnenić was also involved in politics in the 1990s. Together with Vuk Drašković, he participated in the creation of the Serbian Renewal Movement and participated in the 1991 protests in Belgrade against the regime of Slobodan Milošević. He later became Minister of Information of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia on 18 January 1999, as a member of the party. He was Minister of Information during the events leading up to the proposed Rambouillet Agreement and the beginning of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia until he resigned on 25 April 1999. He was briefly the Minister of Culture of the Republic of Serbia in the transitional government of Milomir Minić from October 2000 to January 2001. He later (in 2007) joined the Democratic Party.

He published twenty-one collections of poems, four books of reviews, two anthologies and more than 200 articles. He was awarded the Mladost Award, Isidora Sekulić Award (for his 1975 essay Eros i znak) and the Milan Rakić Award.

As a poet, he published his first book in 1966. It was a poetry book titled Noć pisana noću. His first poems tend to renew the unjustly neglected past, while later he turned to anti-poetry. He composed a large number of songs according to the principles of critical neorealism. His poems have been included in several anthologies, and his poetry and essays have been translated into many languages (French, Italian, English, Russian, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Polish, Slovenian and Macedonian). Among other things, he translated from the French original an extensive study by Denis de Rougemont called Love and the Western World.
