Branislav Andjelic is Nikola’s friend and coworker whom I met a few days ago. He is a very interesting person, mostly because he’s had experience in a lot of professions during his life.
He wanted to become a journalist when he was younger, so he decided to go to a journalism university. He was in his third year when he got a job opportunity as a translator in the middle east. He took the job because the pay was really good, but he had to put a pause on his university studies. After that job, he came back to Belgrade and tried to finish his studies, but after some time he realized he just wasn’t cut out for all the studying anymore. Not long after his translating job, he went to Kenya, where he bought a film camera and helped his friend film a documentary about a Ugandan general Tito Okello, for which they got the “Best documentary movie in Yugoslavia” award. After Kenya, he didn’t go back to Serbia, but he went to USA, finished an economy university and began his job as an economics professor in the USA. When he got back to Belgrade he worked for the Serbian president Zoran Djindjic. One of the many things he did was organize a group of people who made the official country domain name for Serbia .rs. Unfortunately, after Djindjic was assassinated, Branislav was sent to jail and he stayed there for three whole months. After he got out he started his wine business, which produces one of the, if not the best wine in the whole Balkan.
He’s probably one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met because he’s accomplished so much in his life. I think he is a very intelligent, hard-working person, who got lucky in the early start of his career with the job opportunity he got, but the person he became today and the position he holds currently are simply the result of his hard work.
