Brief Biography

Early years

Serbia - Montenegro (Former Yugoslavia)


Stefan was born in Skopje, Macedonia (Former Yugoslavia) into a Serb family of intellectuals. V. Alexander Stefan was raised in the family of his grandfather (the father of his mother Rosanda) Stefan Radosavov Popovich - a prominent citizen of Podgorica, originally from Medun near Podgorica (Podgoritza), Montenegro. The Popovich family line gave a famous duke and poet of Montenegro/Serbia - Marko Miljanov Popovich (see also, Marko Miljanov Popovich). Stefan attended primary school in Podgorica, Montenegro and studied electrical engineering and physics in Belgrade, Serbia. In 1973 and henceforth, Stefan worked as a research scientist in the Boris Kidrich Institute for Nuclear Sciences in Vincha, Belgrade (Vincha-Vinča culture).
