Orchestra member since 2006

I am proud of the Belgrade Philharmonic String Quartet.

I am a person without any assets in any of the social networks under the virtual sky of our cyber universe. However, there is a piece of net, if you will, a hammock hung between two trees by the river, in which I like to swing and sip wine with my friends – that is what I call a social network. I never remove spider webs, since I find them useful for getting rid of houseflies and other annoying creatures. I am a big fan of fishnet stockings, but only if the holes are smaller than in the ham netting. I am also able to infallibly recognize the retinas that stare at the internet all night long. Although I am not using the MT:S mobile network, I have friends on all networks.
