In his own words
A story of work, people and friendship.
Over the past thirty years, either personally or through my company in Vienna, I have taken pride in regularly taking part in numerous humanitarian activities — assistance to the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia during the 1990s, the floods in Serbia in 2014 and many others — organised by the Embassy in Vienna, clubs and associations of Serbian and Bosnian citizens, the humanitarian organisation “Humanitas”, the “Serbian Center”, the Association of Businessmen and others.
The travel agency “Falcon Tours”, which I founded in Vienna in 1997 and later expanded with offices in Belgrade (2000) and Montenegro (2002), contributed to promoting the tourist and spa potential, as well as the cultural and historical heritage of the then FR Yugoslavia — Serbia and Montenegro.
Since 2003 I have been a founder and co-founder of several real-estate companies.
At the same time, my work has made a great contribution to organising numerous cultural and sporting events in Austria that have helped to uphold our interests.
