Why did you decide to stay in Serbia?
The best answer to this question is given by the song „Fatherland“, by Djuro Jaksic. Our ancestors and great men left us a huge legacy. During their lifetime nothing was easier than it is today. That is why I believe that each and everyone of us can contribute to the development of our country through personal development, development of our environment and by being responsible for the work one does.
Educated, hardworking, responsible and honest people have a future here. There have always been and will always be challenges, but hard work and humanity will always be valued. It’s something I learned from my family. Since I became a father two years ago, I will do my best to pass these values on to my children. They should not follow the line of least resistance and see problems only as obstacles on the way to success.
What did you want to be when you were little?
I played football for ten years, so I wanted to be a football player; the alternative was to be a pilot. I would have to ask my friends from elementary school to extract lexicons from that time, so that we can substantiate these claims with evidence.
Favorite school subject?
I would single out two items. These are history and computer science. I was good with languages as well.
Business role model?
Mister Jack Welch. Anyone involved in management should read his book „Winning“.
