Like Serbia’s former president, Boris Tadic, and its current Prime Minister, Aleksandar Vucic, the leader of the “Dosta je bilo” [“Enough is enough”] movement, Sasa Radulovic, has strong connections to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

He was born in the northwestern Bosnian town of Bihac in 1965 and he finished his studies in Sarajevo.

Tadic was born in Sarajevo while Vucic is always noting that his father comes from Bugojno and that he consider himself a Serb from Bosnia.

Radulovic is “pure” Bosnian, however, and was part of the “New primitivism” cultural movement created in Sarajevo in the Eighties, headed by Emir Kusturica and members of the rock band Zabranjeno Pusenje.

His roots thus lie popular culture, as do those of his closest associate, Dusan Pavlovic, a former member of the pop band Vampiri from Belgrade.

All of that stopped when war erupted in Bosnia in 1992.

As a young engineer, he moved to the US, where he become an entrepreneur in the IT business. There are not many known details of this period of his life but he moved to Serbia in 2005. Soon after, he became well known as a pioneer of the Serbian blog scene, writing on economics, business and tax reforms.

In public, he was a blogger, in his business life he was a licensed Bankruptcy Trustee, and when he surprisingly became Minister of Economics in the Serbian government in 2013, it was said that he had been put there to close down much of the economy. He was also a trainer for Serbian police and prosecutors in the field of prosecuting financial crimes.
