“I soon became a director of Jugobanka in Belgrade, and then a director of the representative office in Frankfurt.

When the high school teachers found out that my friends called me Malisor, they told me that the Malisors live in Montenegro and that as a resident of Kosovo I can only take the nickname Shiptar, “Mihajlovic said recently.
