I am a neurologist specializing in MS, other inflammatory disorders of central nervous system and epilepsy. I come from Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro, a small and picturesque country in the Balkans, with approximately 620.000 inhabitants. I have completed my residency and fellowship training in epilepsy and clinical neurophysiology at the University of Belgrade, Medical School. During my tenure there, I had the privilege of learning from eminent figures in the realms of multiple sclerosis and epilepsy including professor Jelena Drulović, professor Šarlota Mesaroš, professor Dragoslav Sokić and professor Aleksandar J. Ristić. Currently I am engaged in the pursuit of my master's degree in MS at the European Charcot Foundation (where I also serve as vice- chair of ECF young investigator/fellow) and PhD thesis in epilepsy
