About Sinisa Boljanovic

36 posts · joined 2007-06-7

I was born on April 1, 1975, in Kula, small town in the north Serbia. I live in Novi Sad which is well-known by “Exit” - the best European music festival.
I graduated Serbian language and literature at the Belgrade University.

Global Voices is a very good and interesting project which reminded me on old age Latin's saying: “wox populi wox Dei!” I think: if there are more voices, it will be much more truth into the World. That was the most important reason because I started to write for GV.

I am grateful to Rebecca MecKinnon. I read her interview about GV in the “Link”, Serbian online magazine specialized for media. I am also grateful to Veronica Khokhlova and Ljubisa Bojic who gave me valuable advice and supported me to start blogging for GV in June 2007.
